If speculation tends thus to a terrific unity, in which all things are absorbed, action tends directly back to diversity.

These two principles reappear and interpenetrate all things, all thought; the one, the many.

The simplicity of the universe...

The simplicity of the universe is very different from the simplicity of a machine. The simplicity of nature is not that which may be easily read but is inexhaustible. The last analysis can no wise be made.

It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood. . . .
