DIVINE CONNECTIONS “Omnipresence is a higher fact. Not through subtle subterranean channels need friend and fact be drawn to their counterpart, but rightly considered, these things proceed from the eternal generation of the soul. Cause and effect are two sides of one fact.” VIRTUES “The great man will not be prudent in the popular sense; all his prudence will be so much deduction from his grandeur.” “Yet it seems to me that with every precaution you take against such an evil, you put yourself into the power of evil. I suppose that the highest prudence is the lowest prudence.” “Besides, your bravest sentiment is familiar to the humblest men. The poor and the low have their way of expressing the last facts of philosophy as well as you. ‘Blessed be nothing’ and ‘The worse things are, the better they are’ are proverbs that express the transcendentalism of common life.” SILENCE OF TRUTH “Conversation is a game of circles. In conversation, we pluck up the termini, which bound the common of silence on every side.” “Good as is a discourse; silence is better and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought between the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.”
