We all bear traces of the starvation struggle which for so long made up the life of the race. Our very organism holds memories and... glimpses of that long life of our ancestors which still goes on among so many of our contemporaries. Nothing so deadens the sympathies and shrivels the power of enjoyment as the persistent keeping away from the great opportunities for helpfulness and a continual ignoring of the starvation struggle which makes up the life of at least half the race. To shut one's self away from that half of the race life is to shut one's self away from the most vital part of it; it is to live out but half the humanity to which we have been born heir.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Since the quarrel Will bear no color for the thing he is,... Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented, Would run to these and these extremities.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He who the sword of heaven will bear Should be as holy as severe;... Pattern in himself to know, Grace to stand, and virtue go; More nor less to others paying Than by self-offenses weighing. Shame to him whose cruel striking Kills for faults of his own liking!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Oh for some honest lover's ghost, Some kind unbodied post... Sent from the shades below! I strangely long to know Whether the nobler chaplets wear Those that their mistress' scorn did bear, Or those that were used kindly.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Deacon King was tried for violating the Sabbath, and so hot was the debate that it was referred to the church council, which ultim...ately decided, after long and grave debate, that the deacon had committed a 'work of necessity and mercy.'LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
