Sayfa 80 - Progress, therefore, is not an accident, but a necessity.

The highest truth he sees he will fearlessly utter ; knowing that, let what may come of it, he is thus playing his right part in the world — knowing that if he can effect the change he aims at — well ; if not — well also ; though not so well.
Sayfa 515 - It is not for nothing that he has in him these sympathies with some principles and repugnance to others. He, with all his capacities, and aspirations, and beliefs, is not an accident, but a product of the time.
Sayfa 33 - One man says, he has a thing made on purpose to tell him what is right and what is wrong; and that it is called a moral sense: and then he goes to work at his ease, and says, such a thing is right, and such a thing is wrong — why? "because my moral sense tells me it is.
