More From Charles Dickens

Political agitation, by the passions it arouses or the convictions it engenders, may in fact stimulate men to the violation of the law. detestation of existing policies is easily transformed into forcible resistance of the authority which puts them in execution, and it would be folly to disregard the causal relation between the two. yet to assimilate agitation, legitimate as such, with direct incitement to violent resistance, is to disregard the tolerance of all methods of political agitation which in normal times is a safeguard of free government.

Magazines in the traditional sense were aggregators of novelty. a good magazine was a lot of novelty, stuff you've never heard of before, clearly aggregated by people who have been able to travel further and dig deeper than you have been able to do. and that used to be really an important source of stuff for me. and now it is less important because the internet has eaten it all up. but my twitter feed as an aggregator of novelty is like... i don't know what i would do if it became any more powerful, i would have to start reining it in somehow.

To know the cross is not merely to know our own sufferings. for the cross is the sign of salvation, and no man is saved by his own sufferings. to know the cross is to know that we are saved by the sufferings of christ; more, it is to know the love of christ who underwent suffering and death in order to save us. it is, then, to know christ.

When the gauls laid waste rome, they found the senators clothed in their robes, and seated in stern tranquillity in their curule chairs; in this manner they suffered death without resistance or supplication. such conduct was in them applauded as noble and magnanimous; in the hapless indians it was reviled as both obstinate and sullen. how truly are we the dupes of show and circumstances! how different is virtue, clothed in purple and enthroned in state, from virtue, naked and destitute, and perishing obscurely in a wilderness.
Rome Purple Waste
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. they want rain without thunder and lightning. they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. this struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
