A voice behind thee the voice of history, which is forever sounding across the centuries the laws of truth, right, and justice, and reminding us of the doom that befalls men and nations that persistently transgress those laws. In that voice there is the blending of many voices, from every age and clime. The trend seen in this history marks a pathway upward and onward in human progress, and justifies faith in the ultimate triumph of justice, truth, and right. Injustice and falsehood may be long-lived, but doomsday comes to them at last. Justice and truth alone endure and live.
History speaks across the centuries.
And it speaks, always and everywhere, on the side of truth and right and human freedom. Let those who feel that there is no hope for mankind take heart from this appeal to history.
