Men of Principle

MEN OF PRINCIPLE.—The man of principle needs not the restriction of seal or signature, or any legal instrument. He deals in solitude as in public, at midnight as in sunshine. His grasped hand is as good as a bond, and his promise as sterling as gold. The complicated interests of men, which so often jar and conflict, are reconciled in him with a beautiful harmony. He is himself the embodiment of justice, the symbol of a perfect society. His charities are not the droppings of a formal pity, but the ointment of a yearning love.
