“The greatest man is he
who chooses the right
with invincible resolution,
who resists the sorest temp-
tations from within & without,
who bears the heaviest
burdens cheerfully, who
is calmest in storms, and
most fearless under menace
and frowns, whose reliance
on Truth, on Virtue and
God is most unfaltering”
“There is a virtuous and a
Glorious courage —
it is the courage of
principle, which dares
to do right in the face
of scorn, which hazards
reputation, rank, and advance-
-ment, the sympathy
of friends, and the
admiration of the world,
rather than violate a
conviction of duty”—
