It is an impressive truth that sometimes in the very lowest forms of duty, less than which would rank a man as a villain, there is, nevertheless the sublimest ascent of self-sacrifice. To do less would class you as an object of eternal scorn, to do so much presumes the grandeur of heroism

If you want to do something, what does it matter where you are ranked?

If, to expose the fraud and imposition of monarchy… to promote universal peace, civilization, and commerce, and to break the chains of political superstition, and raise degraded man to his proper rank; if these things be libellous… let the name of libeller be engraved on my tomb

It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all

It is not earthly rank, nor birth, nor nationality, nor religious privilege, which proves that we are members of the family of God; it is love, a love that embraces all humanity.

Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

A woman’s rank Lies in the fulness of her womanhood: Therein alone she is royal.
