Anthony Text: Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world will say, whether you are in your place or out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your best works, looking only to your own conscience for approval. There is so much amid all that is so hopeful, to discourage and dishearten— and I feel alone… but I think I am good for a great deal of work yet… for it is the brave and courageous who dare to strike out alone— and it is they who will not surrender… The influence has gone forth, the great ocean has been moved, and those who watch, even now may see the mighty waves of truth slowly swelling on the shores of time.
