Imagination Is The Deceptive Part In Man,

Happiness Is Neither Within Us, Nor Without Us. It Is In The Union Of Ourselves With God.

There Are Two Equally Dangerous Extremes-to Shut Reason Out, And To Let Nothing Else In.

Let Man Then Contemplate Nature In Full And Lofty Majesty, And Turn His Eyes Away From The Mean Objects Which Surround Him. Let Him Look At The Dazzling Light Hung Aloft As An Eternal Lamp To Lighten The Universe; Let Him Behold The Earth, A Mere Dot Compared With The Vast Circuit Which That Orb Describes, And Stand Amazed To Find That The Vast Circuit Itself Is But A Very Fine Point Compared With The Orbit Traced By The Starts As They Roll Their Course On High.

Truly It Is An Evil To Be Full Of Faults; But It Is A Still Greater Evil To Be Full Of Them And To Be Unwilling To Recognize Them, Since That Is To Add The Further Fault Of A Voluntary Illusion.

Silence Is The Greatest Persecution; Never Do The Saints Keep Themselves Silent.
