Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Relations of Christian Principles to Mental Culture: A Discourse to the Graduating Class of Wesleyan University, July 1848 As he thinketh in his heart, so is he. - Prov. xxiii, 7. It is a recognized principle of ethical philosophy, no less than of the gospel, that the quality of actions, considered as virtuous or vicious, resides wholly in the intention. The external bodily movement, which we term the action, and which is the apparent cause of the effect produced, has really no moral character. It is neither good nor evil in itself; and in forming our judgment of human conduct we might reject the external manifestation altogether, had we some other clew to the mental condition of which it is the exponent. But "the tree is known by its fruit." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
