In the aberrations of the weak mind decrying resistance, let us not lose our balance and defy brute strength.

At a later stage we must consider the ethics of resistance to the Civil Power; the significance of what is written now will be more apparent then.

Let the cultivation of a brave, high spirit be our great task; it will make of each man's soul an unassailable fortress.

Armies may fail, but it resists for ever.

The body it informs may be crushed; the spirit in passing breathes on other souls, and other hearts are fired to action, and the fight goes on to victory.
