Knowledge Is Essential To Freedom.

Did Any Man At His Death Ever Regret His Conflicts With Himself, His Victories Over Appetite, His Scorn Of Impure Pleasure, Or His Sufferings For Righteousness' Sake?

It Is Chiefly Through Books That We Enjoy Intercourse With Superior Minds. In The Best Books, Great Men Talk To Us, Give Us Their Most Precious Thoughts, And Pour Their Souls Into Ours.

To Do God's Will As Fast As It Is Made Known To Us, To Inquire Hourly -- I Had Almost Said Each Moment -- What He Requires Of Us, And To Leave Ourselves, Our Friends, And Every Interest At His Control, With A Cheerful Trust That The Path Which He Marks Out Leads To Our Perfection And To Himself, -- This Is At Once Our Duty And Happiness; And Why Will We Not Walk In The Plain, Simple Way?.

The Mind, In Proportion As It Is Cut Off From Free Communication With Nature, With Revelation, With God, With Itself, Loses Its Life, Just As The Body Droops When Debarred From The Air And The Cheering Light From Heaven.
