A false man found a religion? Why, a false man cannot build a brick house!

Philosophy dwells aloft in the Temple of Science, the divinity of its inmost shrine; her dictates descend among men, but she herself descends not : whoso would behold her must climb with long and laborious effort, nay, still linger in the forecourt, till manifold trial have proved him worthy of admission into the interior solemnities.

O poor mortals, how ye make this earth bitter for each other.

Let him who would move and convince others, be first moved and convinced himself.
