“The fear of meeting the opposition of envy, or the illiberality of ignorance is, no doubt, the frequent cause of preventing many ingenious men from ushering opinions into the world which deviate from common practice. Hence for want of energy, the young idea is shackled with timidity and a useful thought is buried in the impenetrable gloom of eternal oblivion.” MenWorldWantIdeasYoungScienceEnergyCausesCommonOpinionPracticeDoubtIgnoranceEternalMeetingsEnvyIgnorantNo DoubtOppositionBuriedOblivionGloomPreventingIngeniousTimidityDeviateUseful Thoughts Author:Robert Fulton

“I do not think that G. H. Hardy was talking nonsense when he insisted that the mathematician was discovering rather than creating, nor was it wholly nonsense for Kepler to exult that he was thinking God's thoughts after him. The world for me is a necessary system, and in the degree to which the thinker can surrender his thought to that system and follow it, he is in a sense participating in that which is timeless or eternal.” ThinkingWorldScienceTalkingDegreesEternalCreatingDiscoverySurrenderNonsenseThinkerDiscoveringMathematicianTimelessParticipatingHardyKeplerThinking GodTalking Nonsense Author:Brand Blanshard
“The validity of mathematical propositions is independent of the actual world-the world of existing subject-matters-is logically prior to it, and would remain unaffected were it to vanish from being.

“In his (Christ's) surrender on the cross all the pain and agony of mankind was concentrated at a single point, and passed through from death to immortality, There is no pain of any creature from the beginning to the end of time which was not 'known' at this point and thus transmuted. To know all things in the Word is thus to know all the suffering of the world transfigured by the resurrection, somehow reconciled and atoned in eternal life. It was God's purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things on heaven and things on earth'.” KnowsWorldEndsEarthPainSpiritualPurposeSufferingHeavenChristKnownPlansMankindCreaturesEternalAll ThingsCrossesSurrenderImmortalityResurrectionAgonyEnd TimesFullnessEternal LifeNo Pain Author:Bede Griffiths

“Prayer is that which enables the soul to realize its divinity. Through prayer human beings worship absolute truth, and seek an eternal reward. Prayer is the foundation-stone of religion; and religion is the means by which the soul is purified of all that pollutes it. Prayer is the worship of the first cause of all things, the supreme ruler of all the world, the source of all strength. Prayer is the adoration of the one whose being is necessary.” WorldFirstsHumansMeanSoulWisdomCausesRealizingPrayerHuman BeingsSourceEternalWorshipAll ThingsStonesAbsolutesFoundationRewardsSupremeIslamicDivinityRulersAdorationAbsolute Truth Author:Avicenna

“We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.” MenWorldLifeSoulSelfWholeHoursPerfectAnimalConsciousnessSilenceSunPiecesWiseSeeingTreeSubjectsObjectsMoonEternalUniversalShiningUnityRelatedDivisionCosmicParticlesSuccessionSeersCosmic Consciousness Book:The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson Source: The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
