Quote

All that happens in the world of Nature or Man, - every war every peace every hour of prosperity every hour of adversity every election every death every life every success and every failure, - all change, - all permanence, - the perished leaf the unutterable glory of stars, - all things speak truth to the thoughtful spirit.
