Quote by Henry David Thoreau

God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages.

The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us.

God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never
