The Bible begins gloriously with Paradise, the symbol of youth, and ends with the everlasting kingdom, with the holy city. The history of every man should be a Bible.

Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.

Man is a sun, his senses are the planets.

The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
