More from Charles Sumner
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
