Truth
shall prevail ? don't you know
Magna
est veritas
… Yes, when it gets a chance. There is a
law
, no doubt ? and likewise a law regulates your
luck
in the throwing of dice. It is not
Justice
? the servant of men, but accident, hazard,
Fortune
? the ally of patient
Time
? that holds an even and scrupulous balance.

Someday, somehow, I am going to do something useful, something for
people
. They are, most of them, so helpless, so hurt and so unhappy.

Life
's an awfully lonesome affair. You can live close against other
people
yet your lives never touch. You come into the
world
alone and you go out of the world alone yet it seems to me you are more alone while living than even coming and going.

There’s a
day
to ride thumb on a
thunderhead
There’s a day to make
fantasy
real
There’s a day to deny and a day to decry
and a day for the man the wind at his heels.

A
good
cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminately
murderous
. A bad cause can become good if enough
people
fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.

Scrooge
was better than his
word
. … He became as
good
a
friend
, as good a master, and as good a
man
, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old
world
. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was
wise
enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of
laughter
in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own
heart
laughed: and that was quite enough for him.
He had no further intercourse with
Spirits
, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle, ever afterwards; and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep
Christmas
well, if any man alive possessed the
knowledge
. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as
Tiny Tim
observed,
God
Bless
Us, Every One!

Nature
can afford to be prodigal in
everything
, the
artist
must be frugal down to the last detail. Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn.

The
God
of
Peace
, the God of
Truth
will shortly seal this truth, and confirm this witness, and make it evident to the whole
world
, that the doctrine of persecution for cause of
conscience
, is most evidently and lamentably contrary to the doctrine of
Christ
Jesus
the Prince of Peace.

Mere
political
reform will not cure the manifold
evils
which now afflict
society
. There requires a social reform, a domestic reform, an individual reform.
