"Nothing, indeed, but the possession of some power can with any certainty discover what at the bottom is the true character of any man."

Previous Quote

The disappointed man turns his thoughts toward a state of existence where his wiser desires may be fixed with the certainty of faith; the successful man feels that the objects which he has ardently pursued fail to satisfy the cravings of an immortal spirit; the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness, that he may save his soul alive.
