No one knows … but God … how much I might have accomplished for human progress during these 20 years I have been forced into silence … forced into idleness … banished into obscurity dense as the tomb.

I give my soul to God. I bequeath the example of my public life to the youth of the world, praying they may emulate me in dedicating their own lives to securing justice for the poor of their generation, as I did mine.
