More From Albrecht Durer

What is the purpose for which masonry exists? its ultimate purpose is the perfection of humanity. mankind it self is still in a period of youth. we are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. such perfection can never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the end or spiritual perfection.

Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.

Because god is not only infinitely greater and more excellent than all other being, but he is the head of the universal system of existence; the foundation and fountain of all being and all beauty; from whom all is perfectly derived, and on whom all is most absolutely and perfectly dependent; of whom, and through whom, and to whom is all being and all perfection; and whose being and beauty are, as it were, the sum and comprehension of all existence and excellence: much more than the sun is the fountain and summary comprehension of all the light and brightness of the day.

But there is a beauty every girl has—a gift from god, as pure as the sunlight, and as sacred as life. it is a beauty that all men love, a virtue that wins all men's souls. that beauty is chastity. chastity without skin beauty may enkindle the soul; skin beauty without chastity can kindle only the eye. chastity enshrined in the mold of true womanhood will hold true love eternally.

I liked the idea of a self-contained, endless pursuit of perfection. but i have a problem with perfection. i don't think perfection is very artful. but there's something i liked about the image of a skater going in this endless twisted circle that doesn't have any real endpoint. so the object is not to stop or arrive anywhere; it's just to make this thing as beautiful as they can.

I don't see perfection as far as a visual image of perfection. "perfection" to me is, i walk away from a situation and say, "i did everything i could do right there. there was nothing more that i could do." like, i worked as hard as i possibly could have. that's perfection.

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. i mean do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage. how are we to be patient in dealing with our neighbour's faults if we are impatient in dealing with our own? he who is fretted by his own failings will not correct them. all profitable correction comes from a calm and peaceful mind.
