My Highway Is Unfeatured Air, My Consorts

All Virtue Lies In Individual Action, In Inward Energy, In Self Determination. There Is No Moral Worth In Being Swept Away By A Crowd Even Toward The Best Objective.

Conscience, The Sense Of Right, The Power Of Perceiving Moral Distinctions, The Power Of Discerning Between Justice And Injustice, Excellence And Baseness, Is The Highest Faculty Given Us By God, The Whole Foundation Of Our Responsibility, And Our Sole Capacity For Religion. ...god, In Giving Us Conscience, Has Implanted A Principle Within Us Which Forbids Us To Prostrate Ourselves Before Mere Power, Or To Offer Praise Where We Do Not Discover Worth.

We Smile At The Ignorance Of The Savage Who Cuts Down The Tree In Order To Reach Its Fruit; But The Same Blunder Is Made By Every Person Who Is Over Eager And Impatient In The Pursuit Of Pleasure.

Fix Your Eyes On Perfection And You Make Almost Everything Speed Towards It.

Our Affections Are Our Life. We Live By Them; They Supply Our Warmth.
