Science is like society and trade, in resting at bottom upon a basis of faith. There are some things here, too, that we can not prove, otherwise there would be nothing we can prove. Science is busy with the hither-end of things, not the thither-end. It is a mistake to contrast religion and science in this respect, and to think of religion as taking everything for granted, and science as doing only clean work, and having all the loose ends gathered up and tucked in. We never reach the roots of things in science more than in religion.

Sympathy is two hearts tugging at one load.

Sin spoils the spirit's delicacy, and unwillingness deadens its susceptibility.

Laws of Nature are God's thoughts thinking themselves out in the orbs and the tides.

And let me say only this one word more: that the little things that a little Christian does are not any more than the larger things that an older Christian does.

We are religious by nature.

Science is busy with the hither-end of things, not the thither-end.
