Стр. 86 - Amid the mysteries which become the more mysterious the more they are thought about, there will remain the ONE absolute certainty, that he is ever in the presence of an Infinite and Eternal Energy from which all things proceed.
Стр. 42 - On ascending these hills, fossilised charcoal is everywhere met with, covered apparently with ashes, but on closer examination, this ash is also found to be a petrifaction, and so hard, that it can scarcely be scraped off with a knife. On the summit another curiosity is found, namely, a long row of beams, resembling the former, but fixed perpendicularly in the sandstone. The ends, which project from seven to ten inches, are, for the greater part, broken.
Стр. 303 - The Will is simply the man. Any act of Will is the expression of the man as he, at the time, is. The motive issuing in his act, the object of his Will, the idea which, for the time, he sets himself to realise, are but the same thing in different words.
