Humanity Ever Advances

By Charles Sumner

LET us, then, be of good cheer. From the great law of progress we may derive at once our duties and our encouragements. Humanity has ever advanced, urged by the instincts and necessities implanted by God, thwarted sometimes by obstacles that have caused it for a time—a moment only in the immensity of ages—to deviate from its true lines or to seem to retreat, but still ever onward.—Charles Sumner.
