You may depend upon it that they are as good hearts to serve men in palaces as in cottages.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.
Good servants frequently make good masters.
Women serve but to keep a man from better company.
Men are such power-seeking creatures, and they usually kill people to get to the throne.
While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.
If our vaunted rule of the people does not breed nobler men and women than monarchies have done it must and will inevitably give place to something better.
As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.
The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.
