Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.
Spoons and skimmers you can be undistinguishably together; but vases and statues require each a pedestal for itself.
I believe it is the conviction of the purest men, that the net amount of man and man does not much vary. Each is incomparably superior to his companion in some faculty. His want of skill in other directions, has added to his fitness for his own work.
Some will always be above others. Destroy the inequality today, and it will appear again tomorrow.
