Excerpt from Henry W. Grady: The Editor, the Orator, the Man

Human life, in all its length and depth and breadth, is one. Like a vast ocean, it throws itself against the shores of all time and sends up its waters to fill and feed and refresh the heart of every man. The waters upon which the ships sail up to the quay of Liverpool to-day are the same that washed the shores of England in the time Of Julius Caesar. The waves which sob and murmur between the dangerous rocks of Jaffa to-day are the same that held in their arms the crafts that brought the cedars from Lebanon which Solomon used in the building of the Temple.
