The Slowest Of Us Cannot But Admit

Society,--the Only Field Where The Sexes Have Ever Met On Terms Of Equality, The Arena Where Character Is Formed And Studied, The Cradle And The Realm Of Public Opinion, The Crucible Of Ideas, The World's University, At Once A School And A Theater, The Spur And The Crown Of Ambition, The Tribunal Which Unmasks Pretension And Stamps Real Merit, The Power That Gives Government Leave To Be, And Outruns The Lazy Church In Fixing The Moral Sense Of The Eye.

What Is Defeat? Nothing But Education, Nothing But The First Step To Something Better.

Law Is Nothing Unless Close Behind It Stands A Warm, Living Public Opinion.

Politics Is But The Common Pulse-beat, Of Which Revolution Is The Fever-spasm.

Many Men Know How To Flatter, Few Men Know How To Praise.
