Every Nerve That Can Thrill With Pleasure,

It Is More Difficult, And It Calls For Higher Energies Of Soul, To Live A Martyr Than To Die One.

As All Truth Is From God, It Necessarily Follows That True Science And True Religion Can Never Be At Variance.

Great Knowledge Is Requisite To Instruct Those Who Have Been Well Instructed, But Still Greater Knowledge Is Requisite To Instruct Those Who Have Been Neglected.

Every Hand And Every Hour Should Be Devoted To Rescue The World From Its Insanity Of Guilt, And To Assuage The Pangs Of Human Hearts With Balm And Anodyne. To Pity Distress Is But Human; To Relieve It Is Godlike.

So, In The Infinitely Nobler Battle In Which You Are Engaged Against Error And Wrong, If Ever Repulsed Or Stricken Down, May You Always Be Solaced And Cheered By The Exulting Cry Of Triumph Over Some Abuse In Church Or State, Some Vice Or Folly In Society, Some False Opinion Or Cruelty Or Guilt Which You Have Overcome! And I Beseech You To Treasure Up In Your Hearts These My Parting Words: Be Ashamed To Die Until You Have Won Some Victory For Humanity.
