A universityeducates the intellect to reason well in all matters, to reach out towards truth, and to grasp it.

A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power; for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge.

Regarding Christianity: Ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt.

Dear Lord...shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul...Let me thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around me.

Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.

The ears of the common people are holier than the hearts of the priests.

Such is the constitution of the human mind, that any kind of knowledge, if it be really such, is its own reward.
