"All around us lies what we neither understand nor use. Our capacities, our instincts for this our present sphere are but half developed.

Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one's weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast. We can't all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something."
