Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves.

Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
