Excerpt from Moses, the Man and Statesman: A Lecture Delivered in New York and Boston, January 23 and 25, 1883
However humiliating this may sound, it is nevertheless true. With the exception of the natural sciences, the mechanical arts, and whatever increases by the accumulation of human experience and experiment, objective observation and ocular demonstration, we are the pupils and heirs of the men of gray antiquity.

Excerpt from Moses, the Man and Statesman: A Lecture Delivered in New York and Boston, January 23 and 25, 1883
Great men are the most instructive and most attractive text books, whose paragraphs are deeds, and the reflex of human greatness are the notes. Deeds overwhelm the heart and their reflexes capture the mind with that superior force by which the drama excels the lyric poem and nature outstrips the most eminent works of art. The lives of great men are leaves in the Bible of humanity, illustrated by that unexcelled master-painter whose name is Truth. In the panorama of every-day life, we observe the movement of figures, so closely akin to ourselves that they become uninteresting, and, finally, annoying and depressing. It is the vulgar curiosity-shop. In the Pantheon of those demi-gods who enacted the proudest scenes in the drama of man's history, we are brought face to face with man in his glory, and feel encouraged, cheered and elated with the exposition of what man could be and should be, and begin to feel that he was properly called "Creation's Lord," who exclaims "The world, the world is mine."
The stars are not of equal magnitude, density and brilliancy, nor are all great men equally great. Some are suns, others planets, and others again mere satellites. The suns, it appears, are most distant from us. We utilize in art antique models; in architecture we study ancient monuments; in style, prose or poetry, we imitate classical forms of by-gone days. We do precisely the same in philosophy and jurisprudence, in ethics and æsthetics, in religion and theology. We exhume ancient forms and formulas.
