Summary

This quote highlights the lack of compassion towards individuals who are perceived as morally corrupt or evil in society. It questions the collective humanity of people as, throughout centuries, very few have demonstrated a willingness to pray for Satan, symbolizing the epitome of sin. The quote criticizes the absence of empathy and forgiveness towards even the most misguided souls, suggesting that true compassion lies in offering understanding and redemption to those who need it the most.

The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to lie in a single fact. Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.

Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
