The Whole Sum And Substance Of Human

No Virtue Fades Out Of Mankind. Not Over-hopeful By Inborn Temperament, Cautious By Long Experience, I Yet Never Despair Of Human Virtue.

Mankind Never Loses Any Good Thing, Physical, Intellectual, Or Moral, Till It Finds A Better, And Then The Loss Is A Gain. No Steps Backward Is The Rule Of Human History. What Is Gained By One Man Is Invested In All Men, And Is A Permanent Investment For All Time.

The Bible Goes Equally To The Cottage Of The Peasant, And The Palace Of The King. - It Is Woven Into Literature, And Colors The Talk Of The Street. The Bark Of The Merchant Cannot Sail Without It; And No Ship Of War Goes To The Conflict But It Is There. It Enters Men's Closets; Directs Their Conduct, And Mingles In All The Grief And Cheerfulness Of Life.

I Do Not Pretend To Understand The Moral Universe; The Arc Is A Long One, My Eye Reaches But Little Ways; I Cannot Calculate The Curve And Complete The Figure By The Experience Of Sight, I Can Divine It By Conscience. And From What I See I Am Sure It Bends Towards Justice.
