So they represent to me all the moods and tenses of humanity, all its personal, social and industrial problems.

I have a pitiful heart; I try to keep a philosophic mind; I am cheery with them; I am doubtful, I am hopeful! I never give help feeling sure that I have done wisely, I never refuse the worst and feel sure that I have done well.

I live near the heart of humanity, I count its heart-beats, I hear its throbs.
I realise some of the difficulties that beset us, I see some of the heights and depths to which humanity can ascend or descend.

I have learned that the greatest factors in life are kindly sympathy, brotherly love, a willingness to believe the best of the worst, and to have an infinite faith in the ultimate triumph of good!.
