“The universe does not favour the greedy, the dishonest, the vicious, although on the mere surface it may sometimes appear to do so; it helps the honest, the magnanimous, the virtuous.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“There was no element of true worship in the propitiatory offerings of primitive man; in the beginning he was essentially a materialist—he became a spiritualist later on. Man’s first religion must have been, necessarily, a material one; he worshiped (propitiated) only that which he could see, or feel, or hear, or touch; his undeveloped psychical being could grasp nothing higher; his limited understanding could not frame an idea involving a spiritual element such as animism undoubtedly presents.”
― James Weir Jr., Religion and Lust or, The Psychical Correlation of Religious Emotion and Sexual Desire

“The cleanest expression is that which finds no sphere worthy of itself, and makes one.”
― Walt Whitman, Poems by Walt Whitman

“One can realise a thing in a single moment, but one loses it in the long hours that follow with leaden feet. ”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
