The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries.

Everyone who wants to do good to the human race always ends in universal bullying.

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction but pursues you never.

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

A conversation is a dialogue not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity two intelligent talkers seldom meet.

My idea of good company is the company of clever well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation that is what I call good company.

I still have a spiritual base and a spiritual foundation. And my conversation with God is very open-ended. I pray for humility honestly because it's very easy to be caught up in this world.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.

God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
