You can not have omelettes without breaking eggs; you an not destroy practises of barbarism, of slavery, superstition, which for centuries have desolated in the interior africa, without the use of force; but of you will fairly contrast the gain to humanity with the price which we are bound to pay for it, i think you may well rejoice in the result of such expeditions as those which have recently been conducted with such signal success in nyassaland, ashanti, benin, and nupe expeditions which may have, and indeed have, cost valuable lives, but as to which we may rest assured that for one life lost a hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and the prosperity of the people will in the long run be eminently advanced. but no doubt such a state of things , such a mission as i have described, involves heavy responsibility. in the wide dominions of the queen the doors of the temple of janus are never closed, and it is a gigantic task that we have undertaken when we have determined to wield the scepter of empire. great is the take, great is the responsibility, but great is honor; and i am convinced that the conscience and the spirit of the country will rise to the height of its obligations, and that we shall have the strength to fulfil the mission which our history and our national character have imposed upon us
