The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.

When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is metaphysics.

He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it.
