Grandeur of character lies wholly in force of soul, that is, in the force of thought, moral principle, and love, and this may be found in the humblest condition of life.

The great hope of society is in individual character

To be prosperous is not to be superior, and should form no barrier between men. Wealth out not to secure the prosperous the slightest consideration. The only distinctions which should be recognized are those of the soul, of strong principle, of incorruptible integrity, of usefulness, of cultivated intellect, of fidelity in seeking the truth.

It [the soul] is truly an image of the infinity of God, and no words can do justice to its grandeur.

The great hope of society is in individual character.

We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
