Frederick William Robertson Quotes

He who seeks truth must be content with a lonely, little-trodden path. If he cannot worship her till she has been canonized by the shouts of the multitude, he must take his place with the members of that wretched crowd who shouted for two long hours, 'Great is Diana of the Ephesians!' till truth, reason, and calmness were all drowned in noise.
