I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
Never let us do wrong, because our opponents did so. Let us, rather, by doing right, show them what they ought to have done, and establish a rule the dictates of reason and conscience, rather than of the angry passions.
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
