Thou Little Thinkest What A Little Foolery

A Glorious Church Is Like A Magnificent Feast; There Is All The Variety That May Be, But Every One Chooses Out A Dish Or Two That He Likes, And Lets The Rest Alone: How Glorious Soever The Church Is, Every One Chooses Out Of It His Own Religion, By Which He Governs Himself, And Lets The Rest Alone.

Men Say They Are Of The Same Religion, For Quietness' Sake; But If The Matter Were Well Examined, You Would Scarce Find Three Anywhere Of The Same Religion On All Points.

Pleasures Are All Alike Simply Considered In Themselves: He That Hunts, Or He That Governs The Commonwealth, They Both Please Themselves Alike, Only We Commend That, Whereby We Ourselves Receive Some Benefit.

While You Are Upon Earth, Enjoy The Good Things That Are Here (to That End Were They Given), And Be Not Melancholy, And Wish Yourself In Heaven.

You Will Want A Book Which Contains Not Man's Thoughts, But God's - Not A Book That May Amuse You, But A Book That Can Save You - Not Even A Book That Can Instruct You, But A Book On Which You Can Venture An Eternity - Not Only A Book Which Can Give Relief To Your Spirit, But Redemption To Your Soul - A Book Which Contains Salvation, And Conveys It To You, One Which Shall At Once Be The Saviour's Book And The Sinner's.
