Proverbs may be said to be the abridgment of wisdom.
We always believe God is like ourselves, the indulgent think him indulgent and the stern, terrible.
Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.
Speech is but the incorporation of thought.
The Bible is to religion what the Iliad is to poetry
Haughty people seem to me to have, like the dwarfs, the stature of a child and the face of a man.
