A good conscience is the best looking-glass of heaven. - [Conscience] Christ was vitoe magister, not scholoe; and he is the best Christian whose heart beats with the purest pulse towards heaven; not he whose head spinneth out the finest cobwebs. - [Christianity] He that is once "born of God shall overcome the world," and the prince of this world too, by the power of God in him. Holiness is no solitary, neglected thing; it hath stronger confederacies, greater alliances, than sin and wickedness. It is in league with God and the universe; the whole creation smiles upon it; there is something of God in it, and therefore it must needs be a victorious and triumphant thing. - [Regeneration] The golden beams of truth and the silken cords of love, twisted together, will draw men on with a sweet violence, whether they will or not. - [Gentleness] Things are sullen, and will be as they are, whatever we think them or wish them to be. - [Reality] True zeal is an ignis lambeus, a soft and gentle flame, that will not scorch one's hand. - [Zeal] We have all a propensity to grasp at forbidden fruit. - [Perverseness] Some who are far from atheists, may make themselves merry with that conceit of thousands of spirits dancing at once upon a needle's point. - True Intellectual System of the Universe (vol. III, p. 497), (ed, 1829) [Spirits]
