4 quotes

Religion should never be held to account for inferior scholarship.

The head should not be furnished at the expense of the heart.

I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Where storm after storm rises dark o’er the way.

That heavenly music! what is it I hear?
The notes of the harpers ring sweet in mine ear.
And, see, soft unfolding those portals of gold,
The King all arrayed in his beauty behold!
