“Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction ... nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

“Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

“...when life still hesitates to touch us, when neither duty nor guilt dares lay a hand upon us”

“All around us lies what we neither understand nor use. Our capacities, our instincts for this our present sphere are but half developed. Let us confine ourselves to that till the lesson be learned; let us be completely natural; before we trouble ourselves with the supernatural. I never see any of these things but I long to get away and lie under a green tree and let the wind blow on me. There is marvel and charm enough in that for me.”

“By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands, we make ourselves stronger”

“Because others have let us down, it is now our duty to face the hard truths and do the right thing--no matter the personal cost.”
