“Few people can see God, and it seems an even bolder mind to see the Devil. Active evil is more incomprehensible than active good, and so it ought to be.”

“Active Evil is better than Passive Good.”

“Just as we say “listening and hearing,” “looking and seeing,” so we ought to have two expressions to distinguish active reading from passive.”

“One sees more devils than vast hell can hold”

“There is so much goodness in this world than evil. Even the devil himself experience some worse days (nightmares).”

“To an active mind, indolence is more painful than labor.”

“It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently, and an overloaded curriculum is useless. The object of instruction is not to produce technicians, but good active minds.”

“A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.”

“An active faith can give thanks for a promise even though it be not yet performed, knowing that God's bonds are as good as ready money.”

“People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.”
