Standing Alone for Duty

By Charles Sumner

I HONOR any man who, in the conscientious discharge of his duty, dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold; but sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives, or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner.
