"The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it." ― Augustus Hare Topic(s): Intelligence More From Augustus Hare "Love, it has been said, flows downward. The love of parents for their children has always been far more powerful than that of children for their parents; and who among the sons of men ever loved God with a thousandth part of the love which God has manifested to us?" "Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel." "The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak."

It’s a garish thing, its cover plastered with pink and gold Hindu images, designed to hide its contents. Within is the finest collection of words generated by human intelligence: the complete works of William Shakespeare."― Daniel Hannan "There is no such thing as an underestimate of average intelligence."― Henry Adams
