MAY FOURTH
- Frederick Edwin Church born 1826.
- Isaac Barrow died 1677.
- John James Audubon born 1780.
- Horace Mann born 1796.
- Thomas Henry Huxley born 1825.
The chess board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game we call the laws of nature. My metaphor will remind some of you of the famous picture in which Retzsch has depicted Satan playing chess with man for his soul. Substitute for the mocking fiend in that picture a calm, strong angel, who is playing "for love," as we say, and would rather lose than win, and I should accept it as an image of human life.
—Thomas Henry Huxley.
Riches and nobility fade together. O, my God! be thou praised for having made love for all time, and immortal as thyself.
—George Sand.
