Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with and aid me, I must fail ; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him, shall guide and support me, I shall not fail, — I shall succeed.

Página 311 - Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
