Correspondence of James Fenimore-Cooper (1922)
“I can see much to admire in all religions”
Letter to a relative, (1861).
Context: I think I have fairly heard and fairly weighed the evidence on both sides, and I remain an utter disbeliever in almost all that you consider the most sacred truths [... ] I can see much to admire in all religions [... ] But whether there be a God and whatever be His nature; whether we have an immortal soul or not, or whatever may be our state after death, I can have no fear of having to suffer for the study of nature and the search for truth.
Letter to Thomas Allsop (30 March 1820)
Letters
“Admire as much as you can. Most people do not admire enough.”

Variant: Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
