"I admire that character under the blue canopy of heaven, "Which can still remain free, whatever its influence may be."  
"He gave his time to reading lectures, which is the noblest of all occupations. The noblest and most pleasing of all being to bring to light the treasures of hidden knowledge; and in this he had no sordid view. His intention being only to obey his master's injunctions."
