Serenity of manners requires serenity of mind. - [Politeness] The reason why education is usually so poor among women of fashion is, that it is not needed for the life which they elect to lead. - [Education] When I behold the passion for ornamentation, and the corresponding power, I feel as if women had so far shown what they are bad for, rather than what they are good for. - [Ornament] In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me; As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on. - Battle Hymn of the Republic [Freedom] Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored: He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. - Battle Hymn of the Republic [War]
