DISCOURSE I. THE LESSONS OF THE STREET. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets.—Proverbs, i. 20. The great truths of religion may be communicated to the mind and the heart in two ways—by abstract treatment, and by illustration. It must be taken up in its absolute connection with God, and with our own souls. In solitary meditation, in self-examination, and in prayer, we shall... more...

Dieses Leben ist ganz zerrüttet. Man weiß noch nicht einmal mehr, warum man dieses Leben lebt. Ein Leben ohne Ziel ist ohne Bedeutung. Man verdient Geld, genießt seine Mahlzeiten und sorgt sich den ganzen Tag lang. Wie kann dies das Ziel eines Lebens sein? Wie kann man verhindern, ein solch menschliches Leben nicht zu verschwenden? Nachdem man als Mensch geboren wurde, was sollte man tun, um das Ziel... more...

This translation of the ancient Gnôstic work, called by Schmidt, the Untitled Apocalypse, is based chiefly on Amélineau's French version of the superior MS. of the Codex Brucianus, now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

Sie haben den aufrichtigen Wunsch, sich davon zu befreien, inneres Glück zu finden und sich zu ihrer Befreiung hin zu entwickeln. Die Tirthankars (vollständig Erleuchtete) und die Gnanis (Meister der spirituellen Wissenschaft) haben der Welt die einzige Waffe gegeben, um... more...

La gente va a bodas o al teatro para divertirse, pero la miseria vuelve otra vez. Cuando la infelicidad sigue a la felicidad ¿cómo podemos llamarla felicidad ? Es una felicidad del engaño.

My book is ready for the printer, and as I begin this preface my eye lights upon the crowd of Russian peasants at work on the Neva under my windows. With pick and shovel they are letting the rays of the April sun into the great ice barrier which binds together the modern quays and the old granite fortress where lie the bones of the Romanoff Czars. This barrier is already weakened; it is widely decayed,... more...

Introduction. These Additions differ from the other Apocryphal books, except the "rest of" Esther, in not claiming to be separate works, but appearing as supplements to a canonical book.
