Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.

He that desireth to acquire any art or science seeketh first those means by which that art or science is obtained. If we ought to do so in things natural and earthly how much more then in spiritual?

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.

Sometimes I sit down to sketch at the unearthly hour of 3 in the morning!

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.

The ingestion of brain-altering chemicals - legal or illegal - cannot be categorized as good stewardship of our earthly lives.

It is conceded by all that man is the very highest type of all living creatures on the earth. His intelligence is far superior to that of any other earthly being.

Humor distorts nothing and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.

Having robbed children of any sense that their Father is in Heaven and that they are His creation we then launched an experiment in raising them without earthly fathers too. Having neither a Father in heaven or a father in the home many young men make gangs their families.

Home is the most popular and will be the most enduring of all earthly establishments.

I kiss the soil as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother for the homeland is our earthly mother. I consider it my duty to be with my compatriots in this sublime and difficult moment.

I exhort you also to take part in the great combat which is the combat of life and greater than every other earthly conflict.

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other to let their souls blend in a soft whisper so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can as it were creep into God.

Everyone focuses on the earthly state but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth and I can't wait to experience that.
