P. J. Proudhon (search for this): chapter 14
it is something to believe it possible that, after the progress already made on the whole in these several directions, some future generation may see the fulfillment of what remains. To those who were living when the American nation lifted and threw off from its shoulders the vast incubus of human slavery, what other task can seem too great to be accomplished? In the presence of such a step in human progress as this, how trivial and unimportant are all personal ambitions! The high-water mark of earthly endeavor is not to be found in the pure love of science or art or literature, since these do not, at their utmost, include all the interests of man; nor in the wish to establish the glory of God, which needs no establishing; but it lies in aims so far-reaching that they exclude all petty personalities — in aims such as are expressed in George Eliot's choir invisible, or in the sublime prayer of the French iconoclast, Proudhon, Let my memory perish, if only humanity may be free.
