Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable; a most sacred right, a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
