7. The law will never make men free; it is men who have got to make the

8. Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals;
   cherish the music that stirs in your heart,
   the beauty that forms in your mind,
   the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts,
   for out of them will grow delightful conditions,
   all heavenly environment;
   of these if you but remain true to them,
   your world will at last be built.
                                        - - - James Allen
