6. "We feel the breath of the wind upon our cheeks, we see the dust and the leaves blowing before the wind, we see the vessels at sea driven swiftly towards their ports; but the wind itself remains invisible.

How solemn and how awful and yet unspeakably glorious life becomes when we realize this." ~ R.A. Torrey
