The purest joy for the human spirit and the sheerest delight for man's heart are the rapture of the spirit contained within the love of God.

All true happiness, pure joy, sweet bounties, and unclouded pleasure are contained within the knowledge and love of God.

Be certain of this: that the highest aim of creation and its most important result are belief in God. The most exalted rank in humanity and its highest degree are the knowledge of God contained within belief in God.

Surefire things are deadening to the human spirit.

All true happiness, pure joy, sweet bounties, and untroubled pleasure lie in knowledge of God and love of God; they cannot exist without them.

It's kind of bittersweet. The human spirit is not measured by the size of the act, but by the size of the heart.
