“As we must not judge of the life of the nation by it's kings and mighty men, so we must not judge the life of the Church by those who are called Rabbi. [...] In the Church, as in society, we often find that that which shows itself uppermost is hut the froth, a sign, it may be, of life beneath, but in itself worthless.”
― George MacDonald, England's Antiphon

“Man is a weak and miserable animal until the light of God burns in his soul.”
― Leo Tolstoy, On Life and Essays on Religion

“Sedition comes from hell, and should be driven back to its accursed habitation, to roar in chains and penal fire. The monster newly born is easily quelled, but when the enormous shape grows fierce and conscious of its own strength, then whole nations perish in its jaws, or gro[a]n beneath its feet.”
― John Cameron, The Messiah. In Nine Books. By John Cameron

“Paradise is, as from the learn'd I gather,
A choir of blest souls circling in the Father.”
― Robert Herrick
