Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Meditations of Twenty Years In presenting this volume to the public, I only ask that those who read its pages may do so carefully, thoughtfully and without prejudice, remembering that an author was never yet born, who could write a book that would meet with universal approval, and I am not vain enough to flatter myself that I am an exception. I believe in the principle that all men are created equal; that each and all of us have the right of freedom of thought; that we may indulge in criticisms; that no class or sect have exclusive rights or privileges; that humanity rather than force, should govern mankind; that deformities, should be concealed, social and all other scandals suppressed; that fanaticism and bigotry belong to the dark ages; that true friendship is a jewel of great price; that hypocrisy is an offense against society and those who are guilty should be exposed. I believe in morality among man and womankind; in forgiveness, charity and humanity; in assisting along life´s rough highway those who are earnestly struggling to reach an honorable place in life. I abhor snobbery, despise flunkeyism and hate those whose acts are governed by policy. I believe in the universal freedom of the mind; in the right of all to persuade others, but deny their right to coerce. I believe that no one class should war upon another; that every man and woman has his or her right to personal opinions upon all subjects, and I merely ask those who read my Meditations of Twenty Years, to endorse only such portions as may be pleasing to them. I have written this volume with malice toward none, with charity for all, because I feel the lack of one and need of the other, on equal terms and footing with the rest of the human family, and ask for myself the charity I solicit for others.
