Էջ 311 - And the eye cannot say to the hand, ' I have no need of thee ' ; nor again the head to the feet,
Էջ 387 - And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
Էջ 392 - Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone give vitality to the mechanism of existence ; the laugh of mirth that vibrates through the heart, the tears that freshen the dry wastes within, the music that brings childhood back, the prayer that calls the future near, the doubt which makes us meditate, the death which startles us with mystery, the hardship which forces us to struggle, the anxiety that ends in trust, — are the true nourishment of our natural being.

Էջ 392 - ... and turn thought into an implement of trade, — this is not life. In all this, but a poor fraction of the consciousness of humanity is awakened : and the sanctities still slumber which make it most worth while to be.

We must go at it as earnest scientific men, seeking to develop the truth, and let it make no difference who is pleased or displeased with the result.
