"Tomorrow morning, if you choose to take
up a spirit of such power, you may rise like a soul without a past; fresh for
the future as an Adam un-tempted yet; with every link of guilty habit shaken
off.
I know indeed that you will not; that no one
ever will; but the hindrance is with yourself alone.
The coming hours are open yet, -- pure and
spotless receptacles for whatever you may deposit there; they are pledged to no
evil nor secure of no good; neither mortgaged to greedy passion, nor given to
generous toil. There they lie in non-existence still; ready to be organized by
a creative spirit of beauty, or make foul with deformity and waste."
Martineau.
"His mercies are new every morning."
