An unholy church! It is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hells laughter, heavens abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.

Our joy ends where love of the world begins.

We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
