Men educated in it cannot be stampeded by stump orators. They are slow to believe. They can hold things as possible or probable in all degrees, without certainty and without pain.

This is a social duty. We each owe it to the other to guarantee rights. Rights do not pertain to results, but only to chances. the legislation are kept constantly busy, by the people who have made up their minds that it is wise and conducive to happiness to live in a certain way, and who want to compel everybody else to live in their way. The government gets its money from you to help reform society. They pertain to the conditions of the struggle for existence, not to any of the results of it; to the pursuit of happiness, not to the possession of happiness. The men who have not done their duty in this world never can be equal to those who have done their duty more or less well.
