Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.

Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves; and art exclusively with things as they affect the human sense and human soul.

All great art is the expression of man's delight in God's work, not his own.

Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.

The only way to understand these difficult parts of the Bible, or even to approach them with safety, is first to read and obey the easy ones.

Morality does not depend on religion.

Hope- the recognition, by true foresight, of better things to be reached here after.
