A man's mind should be single to the glory of god in everything that he starts to accomplish. we should consider that of ourselves we can do nothing. we are the children of god. we are in darkness, only as god enlightens our understanding. we are powerless, only as god helps us. the work that we have to do here is of that nature that we cannot do it unless we have the assistance of the almighty.

A Man's Mind Should Be Single To

Lorenzo Snow

A man's mind should be single to the glory of god in everything that he starts to accomplish. we should consider that of ourselves we can do nothing. we are the children of god. we are in darkness, only as god enlightens our understanding. we are powerless, only as god helps us. the work that we have to do here is of that nature that we cannot do it unless we have the assistance of the almighty.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.

I am older than you. believe me, there is no other way to live on earth. men are not open to truth or reason. they cannot be reached by a rational argument. the mind is powerless against them. yet we have to deal with them. if we want to accomplish anything, we have to deceive them into letting us accomplish it. or force them. they understand nothing else. we cannot expect their support for any endeavor of the intellect, for any goal of the spirit. they are nothing but vicious animals. they are greedy, self-indulgent, predatory dollar-chasers

When a man is in god's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives god glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it. it is not only prayer that gives god glory but work. smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives god some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.

I see at last that all the knowledge i wrung from the darkness - that darkness flung me - is worthless as ignorance: nothing comes from nothing the darkness from the darkness. pain comes from the darkness and we call it wisdom. it is pain.

Instead of seeking new landscapes, develop new eyes.

One of the coolest and wisest hours a man has, is just after he awakes in the morning.
