What Can You Conceive More Silly And Extravagant Than To Suppose A Man Racking His Brains, And Studying Night And Day How To Fly? ... Wearying Himself With Climbing Upon Every Ascent, ... Bruising Himself With Continual Falls, And At Last Breaking His Neck?

This, And This Alone, Is Christianity, A Universal Holiness In Every Part Of Life, A Heavenly Wisdom In All Our Actions, Not Conforming To The Spirit And Temper Of The World But Turning All Worldly Enjoyments Into Means Of Piety And Devotion To God.
