I myself would adopt it in a heartbeat except that nature seems to present such strong evidence against it."

He recognizes no national goal except as it is the consensus of the goals that the citizens severally serve. He recognizes no national purpose except as it is the consensus of the purposes for which the citizens severally strive.
