Stran 1 - And because men are all members of one great whole, and the sympathy which is in human nature will not allow one member to be indifferent to the rest or to have a perfect welfare independent of the rest, the expansion of our humanity, to suit 20 the idea of perfection which culture forms, must be a general expansion.
