One Can Not Be Just If One

There Are Men Who Are Happy Without Knowing It.

We Are So Presumptuous That We Think We Can Separate Our Personal Interest From That Of Humanity, And Slander Mankind Without Compromising Ourselves.

Our Opinion Of Others Is Not So Variable As Our Opinion Of Ourselves.

If Children Had Teachers For Judgment And Eloquence Just As They Have For Languages, If Their Memory Was Exercised Less Than Their Energy Or Their Natural Genius, If Instead Of Deadening Their Vivacity Of Mind We Tried To Elevate The Free Scope And Impulse Of Their Souls, What Might Not Result From A Fine Disposition? As It Is, We Forget That Courage, Or Love Of Truth And Glory Are The Virtues That Matter Most In Youth; And Our One Endeavour Is To Subdue Our Children's Spirits, In Order To Teach Them That Dependence And Suppleness Are The First Laws Of Success In Life.

All Erroneous Ideas Would Perish Of Their Own Accord If Given Clear Expression.
