No man is so great as mankind.

All the spaces between my mind and the mind of God are full of truths waiting to be crystallized into laws for the government of the masses.

The union of men in large masses is indispensable to the development and rapid growth of the higher faculties of men. Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization whence light and heat radiated out into the dark cold world.

Humanity is the sin of God

Science, also, is most largely indebted to these beauty-loving Greeks, for truth is one form of loveliness.

The whole sum and substance of human history may be reduced to this maxim: that when man departs from the divine means of reaching the divine end, he suffers harm and loss.

Mankind never loses any good thing, physical, intellectual, or moral, till it finds a better, and then the loss is a gain. No steps backward is the rule of human history. What is gained by one man is invested in all men, and is a permanent investment for all time.
