“Let us do for the generation that must follow us, which will be either our reward or our reproach, all that we would like to have been done for us by our ancestors, perhaps placed by fatality in very dismal circumstances, though full of generous aspirations. The road is ours as the present is ours, and if is not given to us to reach the end, we may be sure that by fulfilling our duties, the future will be ours also – the future of blessings.”
