Out of this pernicious prejudice have proceeded that persecution and neglect which are the too frequent lot of the world's pioneers.
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
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.
