"There is no art so divine as that of reaching and quickening other minds. Do not tell me you are unequal to this task. What! you call yourselves educated, and yet lack the power to approach and aid your unimproved (Depressed, grieving, addicted, impoverished, imprisoned, sick and downcast) fellow-creatures? Of what use is education if it does not fit us to receive and give freely in our various social connections? How wasted has been our youth if it has taught us only the dialect and manners of a select class, and not taught us the language of humanity, not taught us to mix with and act on the mass of our fellow-creatures? How far are you raised above the poor, if you cannot comprehend, guide, or sway them? The chief endowment of a social being -- I mean the power of imparting what is true and good in your own souls -- you have yet to learn.                                      You cannot learn it too soon." William Ellery Channing.
