There is no living with thee, nor without thee.

But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that it is also to be conquered not without, but within thee.

The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

It behoves thee to love God wisely; and that may thou not do but if thou be wise.

We have proclaimed to the world our determination 'to die freemen, rather than to live slaves.' We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and in Heaven we have placed our trust.
