| What is a government without energy? And what
is a man without energy? Nothing--nothing at all. What is the grandest thing
in "Paradise Lost"--the Arch-Fiend's terrible energy! What was
the greatest feature in Napoleon's character? His unconquerable energy!
Sum all the gifts that man is endowed with, and we give our greatest share
of admiration to his energy. And today, if I were a heathen, I would rear
a statue to Energy and fall down and worship it! - Letter to Orion Clemens, June 1860 |
