Know ye what it is to be a child? It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief.

Ah! what a divine religion might be found out if charity were really made the principle of it instead of faith.

Reason respects the differences, and imagination the similitudes of things.

Religion pervades intensely the whole frame of society, and is according to the temper of the mind which it inhabits, a passion, a persuasion, an excuse, a refuge; never a check.

...Ere midnight’s frown and morning’s smile, ere thou and peace may meet.

Narrow The heart that loves, the brain that contemplates, The life that wears, the spirit that creates One object, and one form, and builds thereby A sepulchre for its eternity.

For there are deeds which have no form, sufferings which have no tongue.
