the disgust which the principles on which business is managed
inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust, -- some of them
suicides. What is the remedy? They did not yet see, and thousands
of young men as hopeful now crowding to the barriers for the career,
do not yet see, that, if the single man plant himself indomitably on
his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to
him. Patience, -- patience; -- with the shades of all the good and
great for company; and for solace, the perspective of your own
infinite life; and for work, the study and the communication of
principles, the making those instincts prevalent, the conversion of
the world. Is it not the chief disgrace in the world, not to be an
unit; -- not to be reckoned one character; -- not to yield that
peculiar fruit which each man was created to bear, but to be reckoned
in the gross, in the hundred, or the thousand, of the party, the
section, to which we belong; and our opinion predicted
geographically, as the north, or the south? Not so, brothers and
friends, -- please God, ours shall not be so. We will walk on our
own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own
minds. The study of letters shall be no longer a name for pity, for
doubt, and for sensual indulgence. The dread of man and the love of
man shall be a wall of defence and a wreath of joy around all. A
nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes
himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men.
