Idealism is mental salvation. Thought utterly perishes if we repudiate the ideal. It is the ideal which saves the mind from putrefaction, as the soul saves the body from putrefaction. The unthinking world has had its frolic at the expense of the ideal; nevertheless the only saving grace that has been manifest in the thoughts of men, from the beginning of time to the present, has issued from the ideal. Pitiable, indeed, would be the condition of humankind if idealism was not regnant.
