... women of the North, I ask you to rise up with earnest, honest purpose, and go forward in the way of right, fearlessly, as inde...pendent human beings, responsible to God alone for the discharge of every duty, for the faithful use of every gift, the good Father has given you.

No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"Weren't you relieved to find he wasn't dead?" "No! and yet I don't know it's hard to say.... I went about to kill him fair enough." "You took an awkward way. Did he discharge you?" "Discharge me? No! He knew I did just right."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
