Gravity may put the planets into motion, but without the divine Power, it could never put them into such a circulating motion as they have about the Sun; and therefore, for this as well as other reasons, I am compelled to ascribe the frame of this System to an intelligent Agent.

Each visible planet is the embodiment of a great and exalted spiritual intelligence Who is the minister of God in that department of His Kingdom, endeavoring to carry out His Will, the latter having in view the ultimate highest good, regardless of temporary ill.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

The earth is a beautiful planet.

Benjamin Franklin maintained that every star is a sun, and every sun nourishes a 'chorus of worlds' just like ours.

The universe, when you leave it alone, is going to be beautiful.

God gives us intelligence to uncover the wonders of nature. Without the gift, nothing is possible.

The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet.

We may regard the solar systems as separate sponges, swimming in a World of Divine Spirit, and thus it will be apparent that in order to travel from one solar system to another, it would be necessary to be able to function consciously in the highest vehicle of man, the Divine Spirit.
