    David Brewster (1854). “More Worlds Than One: The Creed of the Philosopher and the Hope of the Christian”, p.138

  • Truths physical have an origin as divine as truths religious.

    Sir David Brewster (1854). “More Worlds Than One: The Creed of the Philosopher and the Hope of the Christian”, p.139
  • Man, made after God's image, was a nobler creation than twinkling sparks in the sky, or than the larger and more useful lamp of the moon.

    David Brewster (1854). “More Worlds Than One: The Creed of the Philosopher and the Hope of the Christian”, p.11
