There is such a possibility as to have gone on so obstinately kicking against the pricks and leaving the wounds so unheeded, as that they mortify and feeling goes.
"There is no lack of leadership, such as it is," he hazarded. "No; but there seems to be a pitiful lack of the right kind: men who will put self-seeking and unworthy ambition aside and lift the standard of justice and right-doing for its own sake.

Now to God our Father be glory forever and ever. Already my life-blood is poured out and the time for me to go has come. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. Now the crown for right-doing awaits me which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only but to all who have loved and longed for his appearing.

Thus, according to which room or which mood we enter first, we are sure to experience either irritation at wrong-headedness or relief at right-doing; whether we pass from the sculpture of ancient Greece to the sculpture of mediæval Italy, or vice versâ.

More, these young lives must be trained to habitual and efficient right-doing.
Gradually, very, very slowly, as we become more civilized and develop moral insight develop a love for humanity we come to recognize that the only legitimate purpose of punishment in the treatment of offenders is to redeem their characters, to make them positively better, not merely frighten them into a state of apparent right-doing that is, a state of avoiding wrong-doing.
He was an ordinary individual, with no sublimity in him, and no compensation to speak of for his sufferings no consciousness of lofty right-doing, or of a course of action superior to the world.
