Quote #48 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Eccentric Thought
“...those who work with no expectation of seeing results cannot be disappointed; they are beyond the scope of failure, and may even meet, as we did, with some small and unforeseen success. The [Humanitarian] League was thus, in the true sense of the term, a Forlorn Hope; that is, a troop of venturesome pioneers, who were quite untrammeled by “prospects,” and whose whim it was to open out a path by which others might eventually follow.”
