Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life

We ought to be cautious in taking even the best ascertained opinions and practices of the primitive Church for our own.

On every other subject succeeding times have learned to form a judgement more in accordance with the spirit of Christianity than was the practice of the early ages. Ralph Waldo Emerson
