    A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.

    How so ere, my man
    Shall reade a piece of virgil, tacitus,
    livie, or some better booke to us,
    Of which wee’ll speake our minds, amidst our meate;
    And Ile professe no verses to repeate:
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
