Morality, when vigorously alive, sees farther than intellect, and provides unconsciously for intellectual difficulties.

The secret of a person's nature lies in their religion and what they really believes about the world and their place in it.

Philosophy goes no further than probabilities, and in every assertion keeps a doubt in reserve.

Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.

The soul of man is not a thing which comes and goes, is builded and decays like the elemental frame in which it is set to dwell, but a very living force, a very energy of God's organic will, which rules and moulds this universe.
