The scholar was not raised by the sacred thoughts amongst which he dwelt, but used them to selfish ends. He was a profane person,and became a showman, turning his gifts to marketable use, and not to his own sustenance and growth. It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man, as any single organ can be invigorated, and the result was monstrous.

Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good.

For beauty is God's handwriting...A nd, thank God for it as a cup of His blessing.

Every hero becomes a bore at last.

Be a football to Time and Chance, the more kicks, the better, so that you inspect the whole game and know its utmost law.

Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.

The faith that stands on authority is not faith.
