“Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss'dOf the Two Worlds so wisely - they are thrustLike foolish Prophets forth; their Words to ScornAre scatter'd, and their Mouths are stopt with Dust.”

“As we see from the Scriptures, it had become a common and proverbial expression that if someone wanted to refer to a prophet, he called him a “fool.” So in the history of Jehu (2 Kings 9:11), they said of a prophet: “Why did this mad fellow come to you?” And Isaiah shows (Is. 57:4) that they opened their mouths and put out their tongues against him. But all they accomplished by this was to become a terrible stench and a curse, while the dear prophets and saints have honor, praise, and acclaim throughout the world and are ruling forever with Christ, the Lord.”

“Some are exploited by God himself, and they are prophets and saints in this vacuous world.”

“A sage is a former fool who has become tired of himself.A foolish sage is one who forgets this.Remember, or come full circle.”

“Why not"! That is SO wise. So many things would be possible in this world if you thought "Why not?" all day long.”

“Saints and martyrs had never interested Maggie so much as sages and poets.”
