The Person Lives Most Beautifully

A Refined Soul Is Distressed To Know That Someone Owes It Thanks; A Crude Soul, To Know That It Owes Someone Thanks.

The Essential Thing ‘in Heaven And Earth’ Is That There Should Be A Long Obedience In The Same Direction; There Thereby Results, And Has Always Resulted In The Long Run, Something Which Has Made Life Worth Living.

In The Beautiful, Man Sets Himself Up As The Standard Of Perfection; In Select Cases He Worships Himself In It. Man Believes That The World Itself Is Filled With Beauty -he Forgets That It Is He Who Has Created It. He Alone Has Bestowed Beauty Upon The World -alas! Only A Very Human, An All Too Human, Beauty.

He Who Despises Himself Esteems Himself As A Self-despiser.

The Church Is Precisely That Against Which Jesus Preached -- And Against Which He Taught His Disciples To Fight.
