"You speak of the littleness of man, lost in the wrinkles of giant mother earth, herself as a speck of dust in the infinitudes of space! It is not so, for the great things are not measured by size. You talk of weakness and fatigue, of the immediate follies and pleasures and proprieties and accidents of life-how these confine and limit man. It is not so, for all can be turned to use. The body is only a garment and the senses but peepholes in the veil of flesh, and when these are quiet and that is obedient, and the mind dwells in contemplation of your immortal possibilites, a window opens within you, and through it you see and know that you shall be what you will to be, and nothing else.
"As the tiny seed, buried in the ground, bursts and puts forth a tender shoot, which pushes its way through the soil and wins its freedom in the upper air, and presently there is a mighty oak, peopling the earth with portions of itself, or, as a great banyan spreads without limit from a little root, providing wealth and home for myriads of creatures, so put ye forth this day the first tender but not uncertain shoot of will, and choose what you will be."
