The waking have one common world, but the sleeping turn aside each into a world of his own. The way of man has no wisdom, but that of God has. Man is called a baby by God, even as a child by a man. The wisest man is an ape compared to God, just as the most beautiful ape is ugly compared to man. The people must fight for its law as for its walls.
Greater deaths win greater portions.
Wantonness needs putting out, even more than a house on fire. It is not good for men to get all they wish to get. It is hard to fight with one's heart's desire. Whatever it wishes to get, it purchases at the cost of soul. And it is law, too, to obey the counsel of one.
