“I
am not a visionary. I claim to be a
practical idealist. The Dignity of
man required obedience to a higher law—that strength of the spirit…. Working
under this law of our being, it is possible for a single individual to defy the
whole might of an unjust empire to save his honor, his religion, his soul and
lay the foundation for that empire’s fall or its regeneration.”
