GEMS OF THOUGHT
NATIONS. A nation is the unity of a people. Coleridge. A State to prosper, must be built on foundations of a moral character; and this character is the principal element of its strength and the only guaranty of its permanence and prosperity.—Jabez Curry. The commandments of God are the bread of life for the nations—Roswell D. Hitchcock. God is Father, infinite, and this great truth, when understood in its divine metaphysics, will establish the brotherhood of man, end wars, and demonstrate “on ear,th peace, good will toward men.” —Mary Baker Eddy. The true grandeur of nations is in those qualities which constitute the true greatness of the individual. Charles Sumner. Until nations are generous they will never be wise; true policy is generous policy; all bitterness, selfishness, etc., may gain small ends, but lose great ones—Washington Irving.
