It is possible 
that in the remote regions of the fixed stars,
or perhaps far beyond them,
there may be some body absolutely at rest,
but it is impossible to know 
from the positions of bodies to one another in our regions
whether any one of these do not keep the same position
to that remote body.
It follows that absolute rest cannot be determined
from the position of bodies in our region.

Wisdom is nothing but
a preparation of the soul,

a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing
thoughts of unity 
at every moment of life.

We cannot observe external things without some degree of thought; 
nor can we reflect upon our thoughts, 
without being influenced in the course of our reflection 
by the things which we have observed.
