“Ourselves are cosmic and capacious beyond conjecture, and to experience some notion of the planetary perspective is the richest income from travelling. It takes all to inform and educate all. Sallies forth from our cramped firesides into other homes, other hearts, are wonderfully wholesome and enlarging. Travel opens prospects on all sides, widens our horizon, liberates the mind from geographical and conventional limitations, from local prejudices and national, showing the globe in its differing climates, zones, and latitudes of intelligence.” MindHeartHomeSidesPerspectivePrejudiceClimateNotionIncomeLocalsLimitationZoneHorizonCosmicEducateConventionalGlobesProspectsConjectureLatitude Book:Table-talk Source: Table-talk
“And when your minister asks you for money for missionary purposes, tell him there are higher, and holier, and nobler missions to be performed at home. When he asks for colleges to educate ministers, tell him you must educate woman, that she may do away with the necessity of ministers, so that they may be able to go to some useful employment.” MayHomeAblePurposeAsksAtheismCollegeHigherMissionsPositive AtheismEmploymentMinistersEducateMissionary Author:Ernestine Rose
