Words of the Apostles
As the stars of the firmament provide the only solace available to a lone and hapless wayfarer 'midst the dreary darkness of a sombre night, even so, when the vault of this mundane existence is bedimmed all around with thick fogs of ignorance, the one solace ready at hand to a dedicated spirit is to be found in those gleaming sparks of prophetic utterances of the apostles which radiate from the depths of their conscious self-realization.
Insular Propensity
Be it a country or a race, be it an individual or a community, its decline irrevocably sets in from the moment it succumbs to an insular attitude of intolerance of others' views.
Tide of Time
Would you not muse over this at daybreak every morning? How hours do many while away you each day in eating and sleeping, in bustle and business? And over against these, how many are spent in elevating thought, in ennobling action, in sincere prayer?
