More from Charles Sumner
Confessing the Fatherhood of God, and the consequent Brotherhood of Man, we find a divine standard of unquestionable accuracy.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
The subterfuges of the politician cannot escape it.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
