A life devoted to good things has authority everywhere.

The Executions in Cuba (1873)

The more I love the cause I represent, the more I wish its enemies worthy of it, and far from finding an argument against justice, I discover an argument in favor of it, when the same people who acknowledge justice combat it out of interest, weakness, worry, or error fight it. There may be a noble sacrifice in defending an unjust cause: there isn’t a noble man who fails to condemn injustice.
