“Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed.”

“Let us seek truth everywhere;let us cull it wherever we can find its blossomor its SEED. Having Found the seed,let us scatter it to the winds of heaven.Where ever it may blow, it will germinate.There is no lack in this wide universe of soulsthat will form the new ground.”

“Let us then, my brethren, endure in hope. Let us devote ourselves, side-by-side with our hoping, so that the God of all the universe, as he beholds our intention, may cleanse us from all sins, fill us with high hopes from what we have in hand, and grant us the change of heart that saves. God has called you, and you have your calling.”

“Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. ”

“When it is time to die, let us not discover that we never lived.”

“Let us be moved, you and I, by the things themselves. Let us discover each other.”
