You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high.

Summary

This quote suggests that knowledge and understanding can be acquired without having direct experience.

In the context of climbing a mountain, it means that one can grasp the mountain's height and magnitude just by observing or receiving information about it, without actually climbing it.

The persons on whom I have bestowed my dearest love lie deep

The persons on whom I have bestowed my dearest love lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, I have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up for ever on my best affections. Deep affliction has only made them stronger; it ought, I think, for it should refine our nature.

Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith.

Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely soley upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.
