What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!

Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.

Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.

The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
