More from Charles Sumner
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
Out of this pernicious prejudice have proceeded that persecution and neglect which are the too frequent lot of the world's pioneers.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
