“We have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.”

“Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day.”

“There are no trifles in the moral universe of God. Speak me a word to-day; — it shall go ringing on through the ages.”

“Facts do not "speak for themselves." They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theory or visions are mere isolated curiosities.”

“The young are of age when they twitter like the old; they are driven through school to learn the old song, and, when they have this by heart, they are declared of age.”

“It flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands,
Like some grave mighty thought threading a dream,
And times and things, as in that vision, seem
Keeping along it their eternal stands.”

“In my days of youth, I remembered my God,
And he hath not forgotten my age.”

“I heard the sighing of the reeds
At noontide and at evening,
And some old dream I had forgotten
I seemed to be remembering.”

“I have a vision and not a mere dream.”

“Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.”
