“you are the equal of the idol who has given you your inspiration”

“The greatest gift that God has given you next to your very life is the right to choose—your agency. He will guide you, inspire you, but He will never manipulate or coerce you.”

“To love one who loves you,To admire one who admires you,In a word, to be the idol of one's idol,Is exceeding the limit of human joy;It is stealing fire from heaven.”

“To love the one who loves you, To admire the one who admires you, In a word, to be the idol of one's idol, Is exceeding the limit of human joy; It is stealing fire from heaven.”

“As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal there will be those who will delight to offer affront to your idol.”

“When you see a person who has been given more than you in money and beauty, then look to those who have been given less.”
