Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of going beyond the minimum effort or expectations in order to achieve consistent success. Those who accomplish their goals consistently are contrasted with individuals who simply go through life and their careers by doing what is expected of them. The "extra mile" refers to the additional effort and dedication that separates those who are successful from those who are merely complacent.

Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level,

Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet.

My experiences of men has neither disposed me to think worse of them nor be indisposed to serve them: nor, in spite of failures which I lament, of errors which I now see and acknowledge, or the present aspect of affairs, do I despair of the future. The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.
