The Daily Dispatch: March 4, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
osopher and statesman was: "I do not feel that my experience of man has either disposed me to think worse of them, or indisposed me to serve them; nor, in spite of failures which I lament, of errors which I now see and acknowledge, and of the present gloomy aspect of affairs, do I despair of the future. On the contrary, I hope; I see glimpses of daylight; I see elements of rescue; I see even now faint dawning of a better day. The truth I take to be this: The march of Providence is so slow, and our desires are so impatient — the work of progress is so immense, and our means of aiding it so feeble,--the life of humanity is so long, and that of individual man so brief, that what we see is often only the ebb of the advancing wave; and thus discouragement is our inevitable lot. It is only history that teaches us to hope." Let us trust, if we can, that M. Guizot may be right, and that man is not a pendulum, constantly vibrating between the opposite extremes of civilization and barbarism.
