The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.

Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed or governed their passions, but because they have cultivate their understandings.

I rest not from my great task! | To open the Eternal Worlds, | to open the immortal Eyes of Man | Inwards into the Worlds of Thought; | Into eternity, ever expanding | In the Bosom of God, | The Human Imagination

What is now proved was once only imagined.

The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.

Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
