Every artist who works upon his canvas or upon the stone, or rears up
stately fabrics, expressing something nobler to men, giving some form
to their ideals and aspirations--every such man also is working for the
largeness and so for the liberty of men. And every mother who sits by
the cradle, singing to her babe the song which the angels sing all the
way up to the very throne, she, too, is God’s priestess, and is working
for the largeness of men, and so for their liberty. Whoever teaches men
to be truthful, to be virtuous, to be enterprising; in short, whoever
teaches manhood, emancipates men.--HENRY WARD BEECHER.
