Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity. Henry Beston
To sanctify God is to reverence Him in our hearts, and to represent Him in the glory of His holiness before men. Richard Alleine
