Note 501 — Chapter X · MORAL GOVERNMENT. I. ITS GROUND.—THE CORRELATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
Reading edition
"Without God there is no great man. It is He who inspires us with great ideas and exalted designs. When you see a man superior to his passions, happy in adversity, calm amid surrounding storms, can you forbear to confess that these qualities are too exalted to have their origin in the little individual whom they ornament? A god inhabits every virtuous man, and without God there is no virtue."—Seneca, "Epistles," 41, 73.
