parent good, regardless of all greater good and
evil in the future. And [so] there must ever be a
war between the dispositions of the classes who
look only at the present, and only at the future.
We must look at both at once. But to effect a
great and good result, all things must be TRUE

that they are wise, when they are only cunning.
They know not the sublimity of simple truth,
and when a man with the full consciousness
that he has done a noble work, may seem to
feel its dignity, they cry “ behold how vain!”
Not seeing the great work which does ennoble
him, they think him vain even of the merest
trifles. They judge of others by themselves.”—
