Duty Cannot Exist Without Faith

Nationality Is The Miracle Of Political Independence; Race Is The Principle Of Physical Analogy.

The Most Powerful Men Are Not Public Men: A Public Man Is Responsible, And A Responsible Man Is A Slave. It Is Private Life That Governs The World.

No Government Can Be Long Secure Without A Formidable Opposition.

And It Is A Singular Truth That, Though A Man May Shake Off National Habits, Accent, Manner Of Thinking, Style Of Dress,--though He May Become Perfectly Identified With Another Nation, And Speak Its Language Well, Perhaps Better Than His Own,--yet Never Can He Succeed In Changing His Handwriting To A Foreign Style.

Fame And Power Are The Objects Of All Men. Even Their Partial Fruition Is Gained By Very Few; And That, Too, At The Expense Of Social Pleasure, Health, Conscience, Life.
