Miracle is the pet child of faith.

The affairs of the world are no more than so much trickery, and a man who toils for money or honour or whatever else in deference to the wishes of others, rather than because his own desire or needs lead him to do so, will always be a fool.

Religion is not in want of art; it rests on its own majesty.

Limitation of aims is the mother of wisdom and the secret of achievement.

While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.

To understand one thing well is better than understanding many things by halves.
