Oration

Excerpt from Oration

Still less does truth vary. They speak falsely who say that truth is the daughter of time; it is the child of eternity, and as old as the Divine mind. The perception of it takes place in the order of time truth itself knows nothing of the succession of ages. Neither does morality need to perfect itself; it is what it al ways has been, and always will be. Its distinctions are older than the sea or the dry land, than the earth or the sun. The relation of good to evil is from the beginning, and is unalterable.
