be pure as your heavenly father is pure


It would seem that virtues of man are not limited by the Being who alone could limit them; and that he may press forward without considering whether he steps out of his sphere by indulging such a noble ambition.

To the wild billows it has been said, "thus far shalt thou go, and no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed." Vainly then do they beat and foam, restrained by the power that confines the struggling planets within their orbits, matter yields to the great governing Spirit.

But an immortal soul, not restrained by mechanical laws, and struggling to free itself from the shackles of matter; contributes to, instead of disturbing, the order of creation, when, cooperating with the Father of spirits, it tries to govern itself by the invariable rule that, in a degree, before which our imagination our faints, the universe is regulated.

也許,所謂的愛情,應該是可以被化約到自由的想像。
