More from Charles Sumner
Confessing the Fatherhood of God, and the consequent Brotherhood of Man, we find a divine standard of unquestionable accuracy.
Rather would I arouse you to renewed and incessant exertion.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
