More from Charles Sumner
The first is a heavenly sentiment, from God: the other is a device of this world.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.

Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
