„God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of him is our proper; and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.

These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops, but God is the ocean.“
