If we have lost faith in our vernaculars, it is a sign of want of faith in ourselves; it is the surest sign of decay.
Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use.
Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.
I have not the power adequately to describe them without committing a breach of the laws of decent speech.
