Henry Ward Beecher: “It is Immortality only that reaches down a measure wherewith to gauge a man.”

For fifty years the imperious spirit of the South has sought and gained power.

But I think that God sent New-England to these shores as his own messenger of mercy to days and ages, that have yet far to come ere they are born!

New-England first formed those institutions which liberty requires for beneficient activity; and from her, both before and since the Revolution, they have been copied throughout the Land.

The whole chance of Right, and the whole theory of Liberty, springs from that part of man that lies beyond this life.
