The soul of the Christian religion is reverence.
A man doesn't learn to understand anything unless he loves it.
Men are so constituted that every one undertakes what he sees another successful in, whether he has aptitude for it or not.
Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!
How often do I lull my seething blood to rest, for you have never seen anything so unsteady, so uncertain, as this heart.
Truth is a torch but a tremendous one. That is why we hurry past it, shielding our eyes, indeed, in fear of getting burned.
