Excerpt from Thoughts and Theories of Life and Education
When the rose is fair it makes the garden fair,
When the soul is fair its beauty all may share.
In the course of ages there have been a few in whose company it is possible to think high thoughts in a noble spirit; but there has been and is but one with whom it is possible to lead the life of the soul and feel that it is like the life of God, - he is the Master, Christ Jesus, who alone makes us understand and realize that God is our Father, and that our business on earth is to grow into the divine image by right loving and doing. To know God is to transcend the contradictions and dark mysteries of human existence, and to taste the pure joy and peace which children feel when their father is near.
