Principles of Freedom

CHAPTER VII
19/21

All the conditions grow more definite and seem, perhaps, too exacting; remember the greatness of the enterprise.

Suppose in the building of a mighty edifice the architect at any point were careless or slurred over a difficulty, trusting to luck to bring it right, how the whole building would go awry, and what a mighty collapse would follow.
Let us stick to our colours and have no fear.

When all these principles have been combined into one consistent whole, a light will flash over the land and the old spirit will be reborn; the mean will be purged of their meanness, the timid heartened with a fine courage, and the fearless will be justified: the land will be awake, militant, and marching to victory.
VI This is, surely, the fine view of loyalty.

Let us write it on our banners and proclaim it to the world.

It is consistent, _honourable_, fearless and immutable.
