The softest, freest, most pliable and changeful living substance is the brain-the hardest and most iron-bound as well.

To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.

The religious need of the human mind remains alive, never more so, but it demands a teaching which can be understood.

We are pushed forward by the social forces, reluctant and stumbling, our faces over our shoulders, clutching at every relic of the past as we are forced along; still adoring whatever is behind us. We insist upon worshipping 'the God of our fathers.' Why not the God of our children? Does eternity only stretch one way?

The world is quite right. It does not have to be consistent.
