Science and Virtue. May 22.

Science is great; but she is not the greatest. She is an instrument and not a power -- beneficent or deadly, according as she is wielded by the hand of virtue or vice. But her lawful mistress, the only one which can use her aright, the only one under whom she can truly grow and prosper and prove her divine descent, is Virtue, the likeness of Almighty God.

Roman and Teuton. 1860.
