Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it,
while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.

ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances,
institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.

if supported by some evidence, do little harm,
for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.
