There is one evident, indubitable manifestation of the Divinity, and that is the laws of right which are made known to the world through Revelation.

Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.

But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.

The business of art lies just in this, -- to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.

Anything is better than lies and deceit!

To love life is to love God. Harder and more blessed than all else is to love this life in one's sufferings, in undeserved sufferings.

…the majority of men do not think in order to know the truth, but in order to assure themselves that the life which they lead, and which is agreeable and habitual to them, is the one which coincides with the truth.
