Astrology Is A Disease, Not A Science.

The Risk Of A Wrong Decision Is Preferable To The Terror Of Indecision.

It Is Not Unreasonable To Assume That The Works Of God, Their Existence And Preceding Non-existence, Are The Result Of His Wisdom, But We Are Unable To Understand Many Of The Ways Of His Wisdom In His Works. On This Principle The Whole Law Of Moses Is Based; It Begins With This Principle: "and God Saw All That He Had Made, And Behold, It Was Very Good" (gen.

The Third Class Of Evils Comprise Those Which Everyone Causes To Himself By His Own Action. This Is The Largest Class, And Is Far More Numerous Than The Second Class. It Is Especially Of These Evils That All Men Complain, - Only Few Men Are Found That Do Not Sin Against Themselves By This Kind Of Evil. ...this Class Of Evil Originates In Man's Vices, Such As Excessive Desire For Eating, Drinking, And Love; Indulgence In These Things In Undue Measure, Or In Improper Manner, Or Partaking Of Bad Food. This Course Brings Diseases And Afflictions Upon The Body And Soul Alike.

When Reading My Present Treatise, Bear In Mind That By "faith" We Do Not Understand Merely That Which Is Uttered With The Lips, But Also That Which Is Apprehended By The Soul, The Conviction That The Object [of Belief] Is Exactly As It Is Apprehended. If, As Regards Real Or Supposed Truths, You Content Yourself With Giving Utterance To Them In Words, Without Apprehending Them Or Believing In Them, Especially If You Do Not Seek Real Truth, You Have A Very Easy Task As, In Fact, You Will Find Many Ignorant People Professing Articles Of Faith Without Connecting Any Idea With Them.
