More from Charles Sumner
Again I repeat, so long as the War System prevails under the sanction of International Law, these painful incongruities will be apparent.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
