“The world is governed by opinion.”

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.
The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.
Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.
God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.
