CHAPTER XVI
12/26

Give more! Give that which is dearer to you than your life! Then you will see that grow with a vigorous growth which is dearest to you--your truth!" He stopped in the middle of the room, his face grown pale and his eyes half closed.

Raising his hand and shaking it, he began slowly in a solemn tone of assurance with faith and with strength: "There will come a time, I know, when people will take delight in one another, when each will be like a star to the other, and when each will listen to his fellow as to music.

The free men will walk upon the earth, men great in their freedom.

They will walk with open hearts, and the heart of each will be pure of envy and greed, and therefore all mankind will be without malice, and there will be nothing to divorce the heart from reason.

Then life will be one great service to man! His figure will be raised to lofty heights--for to free men all heights are attainable.
