Fear is faithlessness.

I am an emptiness for Thee to fill; my soul a cavern for Thy sea

Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.

The mind of the many is not the mind of God.

A man may sink by such slow degrees that, long after he is a devil, he may go on being a good churchman or a good dissenter and thinking himself a good Christian.
