"Meditation is that exercise of the mind by which it recalls a known truth,-as some kinds of creatures do their food; to be ruminated upon."

Previous Quote

We have found that where science has progressed the farthest, the mind has but regained from nature that which the mind has put into nature. We have found a strange foot-print on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origin. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the foot-print. And Lo! it is our own.
