More From Jonathan Edwards

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives? they have never entered into mine, but into yours, we thought--haven't we all to struggle against life's daily greyness, against pettiness, against mechanical cheerfulness, against suspicion? i struggle by remembering my friends; others i have known by remembering some place--some beloved place or tree--we thought you one of these.
