All of us have life; few of us have an idea of it.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never.

You'll never attain it unless you know the feeling.

A state of true and universal tolerance is best ensured by leaving alone the peculiarities of men and peoples.

Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly; telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.

Assuredly there is no more lovely worship of God than that for which no image is required, but which springs up in our breast spontaneously when nature speaks to the soul, and the soul speaks to nature face to face.
