So near is God to man,
When duty whispers low, ‘Thou must,’
The soul replies, ‘I can.’”
EMERSON
“Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right; decide on what you think is right, and stick to it.”
GEORGE ELIOT [pen-name of Mary Ann Evans]
“I never saw in any man such fearlessness in the path of duty. The one question with him was, ‘Is it right?’ No dread of consequences, and consequences often bitterly felt by him, and wounding his sensitive nature, ever prevented him from doing that to which conscience prompted. His sense of right amounted to chivalry.”
From The life of Professor Forbes
