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

Faith is the heroism of the intellect.

Labor is the handmaid of religion.

Human success is a quotation from overhead.

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 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.
