A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns. A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. Accuse not Nature, she hath done her part; Do thou but thine! (from Paradise Lost) Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties. Good, the more communicated, more abundant grows. He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun. He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. He who reins within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. (from 'Paradise Lost') How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year! Is not miserable to be blind; it is miserable to be incapable of enduring blindness. Not to know me argues yourselves unknown. Our country is where ever we are well off. The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind. Though we take from a covetous man all his treasure, he has yet one jewel left; you cannot bereave him of his covetousness. Truth never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her birth. Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason its self. |
