But The Hour Cometh, And Now Is,

The Eyes Of The Cheerful And Of The Melancholy Man Are Fixed Upon The Same Creation; But Very Different Are The Aspects Which It Bears To Them.

Less Glory Is More Liberty. When The Drum Is Silent, Reason Sometimes Speaks.

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.

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.

Above All Things Let Us Never Forget That Mankind Constitutes One Great Brotherhood; All Born To Encounter Suffering And Sorrow, And Therefore Bound To Sympathize With Each Other.
