The human soul is to God, is as the flower to the sun; it opens at its approach, and shuts when it withdraws.
Man is a wonder to himself; he can neither govern nor know himself.
An idol is what man makes and then has to carry. God makes a man and then carries him.
Good men study to spiritualize their bodies; bad men to incarnate their souls.
Right and truth are greater than any power, and all power is limited by right.
There is no better way to learn than to teach.
