As the past has ceased to throw its light upon the future, the mind of man wanders in obscurity. - Alexis de Tocqueville

In America religion is the road to knowledge, and the observance of the divine laws leads man to civil freedom.

In America, more than anywhere else in the world, care has been taken constantly to trace clearly distinct spheres of action for the two sexes, and both are required to keep in step, but along paths that are never the same.
