Man Is Not To Be Comprehended As

For It Is True Now, As It Always Was And Always Will Be, That To Be Free Is The Same Thing As To Be Pious, To Be Wise, To Be Temperate And Just, To Be Frugal And Abstinent, And To Be Magnanimous And Brave; And To Be The Opposite Of All These Is The Same As To Be A Slave.

A Man Should Live With His Superiors As He Does With His Fire: Not Too Near, Lest He Burn; Nor Too Far Off, Lest He Freeze.

The Universe Should Be Deemed An Immense Being, Always Living, Always Moved And Always Moving In An Eternal Activity Inherent In Itself, And Which, Subordinate To No Foreign Cause, Is Communicated To All Its Parts, Connects Them Together, And Makes The World Of Things A Complete And Perfect Whole.

Be Prudent, Diligent, Temperate And Discreet. Remember That Every Human Being Has A Claim Upon Your Kind Offices.

A War For A Great Principle Ennobles A Nation. A War For Commercial Supremacy, Upon Some Shallow Pretext, Is Despicable, And More Than Aught Else Demonstrates To What Immeasurable Depths Of Baseness Men And Nations Can Descend.
