More from Charles Sumner
As the Brotherhood of Man is practically recognized, it becomes impossible to restrict the feeling within any exclusive circle of country, and to set up an unchristian distinction of honor between civil war and international war.

The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
