"We can never be fit to contemplate anything above us, when we are in no condition to look into ourselves, and calmly examine the temper of our mind and passions."
-- "A Letter Concerning Enthusiasm", Shaftesbury, 1708, cited in Shaftesbury's Philosophy of Religion and Ethics: A Study of Enthusiasm, Stanley Grean, 1967, p. 30.
