Samuel Butler : (5)

" To know God better is only to realize how impossible it is that we should ever know him at all. I know not which is more childish to deny him, or define him. " - Samuel Butler

" A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins, or nearly all, save those worth committing. " - Samuel Butler

" There is nothing so unthinkable as thought, unless it be the entire absence of thought. " - Samuel Butler

" My main wish is to get my books into other people’s rooms, and to keep other people’s books out of mine. " - Samuel Butler

" You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it. " - Samuel Butler
