“Because the divine goodness could not be adequately represented by one creature alone, God produced many and diverse creatures, that what was wanting in one in the representation of the divine goodness might be supplied by another. For goodness, which in God is simple and uniform, in creatures is manifold and divided. Thus the whole universe together participates in the divine goodness more perfectly and represents it better than any single creature.” WholeMightTogetherUniverseSimpleDivineCreaturesGoodnessDividedDiverseUniformsRepresentationManifold Author:Thomas Aquinas
“Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before.

“Do not praise your own faith exclusively so that you disbelieve all the rest. If you do this you will miss much good. Nay, you will miss the whole truth of the matter. God, the Omniscient and the Omnipresent, cannot be confined to any one creed, for He says in the Quran, wheresoever ye turn, there is the face of Allah. Everybody praises what he knows. His God is his own creature, and in praising it, he praises himself. Which he would not do if he were just, for his dislike is based on ignorance.” IfsKnowsMatterWholeFacesTurnsMissingIgnoranceCreaturesPraiseDislikeCreedsConfinedQuranWhole TruthOmniscient Author:Ibn Arabi

“Accounts of outrages committed by mobs form the every-day news of the times. They have pervaded the country from New England to Louisiana, they are neither peculiar to the eternal snows of the former nor the burning suns of the latter; they are not the creature of climate, neither are they confined to the slaveholding or the non-slaveholding States. Alike they spring up among the pleasure-hunting masters of Southern slaves, and the order-loving citizens of the land of steady habits. Whatever then their cause may be, it is common to the whole country.” MayCountryStatesWholeFormOrderCausesPleasureCommonSunLandMastersHabitCitizensCreaturesEternalNewsSpringAccountsEnglandSlaveClimateCommittedSnowFormerBurningLatterSouthernPeculiarSteadyHuntingConfinedOutrageLouisianaNew England Book:Lincoln: Political Writings and Speeches Source: Lincoln: Political Writings and Speeches
“It is not to be wondered that men have worshiped the ocean, for in his depths they have seen mirrored the image of Eternity of Infinity.
