“Would I study carefully those works of art in which learned heathen have embodied their dark surmises as to the divine and human, or groped in unaided philosophical search after God, and only arrived at the sublime but dim hopes of Socrates and Plato, and would I allow to be comparatively unknown that gospel which Jesus Christ brought down to earth ?”
Fuller, Richard Frederick. Recollections of Richard F. Fuller. Boston: privately printed, 1936.
