en A cynic should never marry an idealist. For the cynic, marriage represents the welcome end of romantic life, with all its agony and ecstasy. But for the idealist, it is only the beginning.

en The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two classes - openly bad and secretly bad.
  Henry Ward Beecher

en However tiny the mass, it plays its part int the balance of the stars. Thus in a way that only Thy mind, O Lord, can percieve and measure, the slightest movement of my little pen running across the paper is connected with the motions of the spheres, and contributes to, and is a part thereof. The same takes place in the world of intellect. Ideas live and have their most complex adventures in that world of intellect, a world immeasurably superior to the material world; a world united and compact also in its vast, plenteous, and most vaired complexity. As in the material and intellectual worlds, so it is in the infinitely greater moral world.

en The outer level is symbolic and represents the world in its divine form and the inner level represents a map where the mind is transformed into an enlightened mind. The secret level represents the balance of mind and body and the energies surrounding them.
