Knowledge Is One Thing, Virtue Is Another.

Religion Indeed Enlightens, Terrifies, Subdues; It Gives Faith, It Inflicts Remorse, It Inspires Resolutions, It Draws Tears, It Inflames Devotion, But Only For The Occasion.

To Discover And To Teach Are Distinct Functions; They Are Also Distinct Gifts, And Are Not Commonly Found United In The Same Person.

Literature Stands Related To Man As Science Stands To Nature; It Is His History.

After The Fever Of Life--after Wearinesses, Sicknesses, Fightings And Despondings, Languor And Fretfulness, Struggling And Failing, Struggling And Succeeding--after All The Changes And Chances Of This Troubled And Unhealthy State, At Length Comes Death--at Length The White Throne Of God--at Length The Beatific Vision.

It Is God Himself Who Can Be Discovered In The Beauty Of Sensible Things.
