Human nature | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
is not a machine | |||
<br> | |||
to be built after a model, | |||
<br> | |||
and set to do exactly | |||
<br> | |||
the work prescribed for it | |||
<br> | |||
, | |||
<br> | |||
but a tree | |||
<br> | |||
which requires to grow | |||
<br> | |||
and develop itself on all sides, | |||
<br> | |||
according to the tendency of the | |||
<br> | |||
inward forces which make it a living thing | |||
<br> | |||

Such | |||
<br> | |||
are the differences | |||
<br> | |||
among human beings | |||
<br> | |||
in their sources of pleasure, | |||
<br> | |||
their susceptibilities of pain, | |||
<br> | |||
and the operation on them of | |||
<br> | |||
different physical and moral agencies | |||
<br> | |||
, | |||
<br> | |||
that | |||
<br> | |||
unless there is | |||
<br> | |||
a corresponding diversity | |||
<br> | |||
in their modes of life, | |||
<br> | |||
they neither obtain their fair share of happiness, | |||
<br> | |||
nor grow up to the mental, moral, and aesthetic stature | |||
<br> | |||
of which their nature is capable | |||
