Quote by Henry David Thoreau

The words which express our faith and piety are not definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like frankincense to superior natures.

The words which express our faith and piety are not definite

Summary

This quote suggests that the words we use to express our faith and devotion are not fixed or specific, but nevertheless hold great meaning and carry a pleasant essence, much like the scent of frankincense to those of higher understanding or spiritual sensitivity. It implies that the significance lies not in the exact wording or precise definitions, but in the intention and essence behind them, which can be understood and appreciated by those who possess a deeper spiritual insight.
