“Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights.”

“Knowledge does not come to us by details, but in flashes of light from heaven.”

“The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us.”

“I will not through humility become the devil's attorney”

“Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.”

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”

“We are sometimes made aware of a kindness long passed, and realize that there have been times when our friends' thoughts of us were of so pure and lofty a character that they passed over us like the winds of heaven unnoticed; when they treated us not as what we were, but as what we aspired to be.”
