Of all things that are, the most ancient is God, for he is uncreated.
\nThe most beautiful is the universe, for it is God’s.
\nThe greatest is space, for it holds all things.
\nThe swiftest is mind, for it speeds everywhere.
\nThe strongest, necessity, for it masters all.
\nThe wisest, time, for it brings everything to light.<\/p>\n
