Explore "Atheism Among the People" by Alphonse de Lamartine on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Open the history of America, the history of England, and the history of France; read the great lives, the great deaths, the great sufferings, the sublime words, when the ruling passion of life reveals itself in the last moments of the dying, -- and compare them!
Washington and Franklin fought, spoke, suffered; rose and fell, in their political life, from popularity to ingratitude, from glory to bitter scorn of their citizens, -- always in the name of God, for whom they acted; and the liberator of America died, committing to the Divine protection, first, the liberty of his People, -- and, afterwards, his own soul to His indulgent judgment.
