The Living Soul Of Man, Once Conscious

The False Man Is More False To Himself Than To Any One Else. He May Despoil Others, But Himself Is The Chief Loser. The World's Scorn He Might Sometimes Forget, But The Knowledge Of His Own Perfidy Is Undying.

Forts, Arsenals, Garrisons, Armies, Navies, Are Means Of Security And Defence, Which Were Invented In Half-civilized Times And In Feudal Or Despotic Countries; But Schoolhouses Are The Republican Line Of Fortifications, And If They Are Dismantled And Dilapidated, Ignorance And Vice Will Pour In Their Legions Through Every Breach.

Republics, One After Another . . . Have Perished From A Want Of Intelligence And Virtue In The Masses Of The People. . . .

Man ... Has An Inborn Religious Sentiment That Whispers Of A God To His Inmost Soul, As A Shell Taken From The Deep Yet Echoes Forever The Ocean's Roar.

Ten Men Have Failed From Defect In Morals, Where One Has Failed From Defect In Intellect.
