“Make no display of your talents or attainments; for every one will clearly see, admire, and acknowledge them, so long as you cover them with the beautiful veil of modesty” LongBeautifulTalentAdmireAcknowledgeDisplayModestyVeilsAttainment Book:The Works of Nathanael Emmons, D.D., Third Pastor of the Church in Franklin, Mass: With a Memoir of His Life Source: The Works of Nathanael Emmons, D.D., Third Pastor of the Church in Franklin, Mass: With a Memoir of His Life
“Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.” MindDoeSoulEnoughRealitySeemsBeautifulOrderEnergySimpleInterestingRoomsMankindCreationFieldsTruth IsPureDiscoveryAll ThingsErrorsValuableActiveEncountersFacultyDisplayPassiveUniformsAbsurdityBoundlessAptitude Author:Benjamin Franklin
