All governments are, to a certain extent, a treaty with the Devil. - [Government] As a countenance is made beautiful by the soul's shining through it, so the world is beautiful by the shining through it of a God. - [God] At bottom every religion is anti-Christian which makes the form, the thing, the letter, the substance. Such a materialistic religion, in order to be at all consistent, ought to maintain a material infallibility. - [Religion] I have all reverence for principles which grow out of sentiments; but as to sentiments which grow out of principles, you shall scarcely build a house of cards thereon. - [Principles] In one thing men of all ages are alike; they have believed obstinately in themselves. - [Self-conceit] Instinct harmonizes the interior of animals, as religion does the interior of men. - [Instinct] It is impossible to be a hero in anything unless one is first a hero in faith. - [Faith] It is never too late with us, so long as we are still aware of our faults and bear them impatiently,--so long as noble propensities, greedy of conquest, stir within us. - [Repentance] It is not truth, justice, liberty, which men seek; they seek only themselves. And O that they knew how to seek themselves aright! - [Selfishness] Men will always act according to their passions. Therefore the best government is that which inspires the nobler passions and destroys the meaner. - [Passion] Not because I raise myself above something but because I raise myself to something, do I approve myself. - [Progress] Nothing is more ruinous for a man than when he is mighty enough in any part to right himself without right. - [Revenge] Nowhere would there be consolation, if religion were not. - [Religion] Only those thoughts which the most profound earnestness has produced and perfected take a cheerful form. - [Thought] The true and good resemble gold. - [Goodness] There are but two religions,--Christianity and paganism, the worship of God and idolatry. A third between these is not possible. Where idolatry ends, there Christianity begins; and where idolatry begins, there Christianity ends. - [Religion] To lay aside all prejudice is to lay aside all principles. He who is destitute of principles is governed, theoretically and practically, by whims. - [Prejudice] We always live prospectively, never retrospectively, and there is no abiding moment. - [Future] We enjoy ourselves only in our work, our doing; and our best doing is our best enjoyment. - [Work]
