"The rights essential to happiness. . . . We claim them from a higher source - from the King of kings and Lord of all the earth."

Previous Quote

High above all earthly lower happiness, the blessedness of the eight Beatitudes towers into the heaven itself. They are white with the snows of eternity; they give a space, a meaning, a dignity to all the rest of the earth over which they brood.
