Sherlock Holmes on the Goodness of God

Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers". - Sherlock Holmes - "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty"

This is a famous quotation from the famous detective. Of course, it is fiction, but in this case his logic was exactly correct.
