I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every walk that I do, there's obstacles in the way. There's always somebody or something that comes across negative, but I live for that sort of thing.
I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.
I've stood my ground in life, alone, even against overwhelming forces with the might and money to crush me.
I assert that nothing ever comes to pass without a cause.
Don't speak ill of your predecessors or successors. You didn't walk in their shoes.
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
There has never been a time when I was not committed to, involved in, or caring of, the social and political issues of my world.

Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.
Our actions are the ground we walk on.
