There Is No Applause That So Flatters

Christianity Is A Formula: It Is Nothing More.

Men Are Always Optimists When They Look Inwards, And Pessimists When They Look Round Them.

Charity Is A Flower Not Naturally Of Earthly Growth, And It Needs Manuring With A Promise Of Profit.

Fame! It Is The Flower Of A Day, That Dies When The Next Sun Rises.

The Christian Religion, Outwardly And Even In Intention Humble, Does, Without Meaning It, Teach Man To Regard Himself As The Most Important Of All Created Things. Man Surveys The Starry Heavens And Hears With His Ears Of The Plurality Of Worlds; Yet His Religion Bids Him Believe That His Alone Out Of These Innumerable Spheres Is The Object Of His Master's Love And Sacrifice.
