Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.

As long as we can keep our international relations in the realm of conference rather than open conflict, we are giving truth more time to vindicate itself. And what we ourselves need is more faith in the power of truth.

All our science and philosophy form only an island of knowledge surrounded by an ocean of mystery. The larger the island grows, the longer the shoreline where the known meets the unknown.

The test of our religion is whether it fits us to meet emergencies. A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis.

Balance the bad news of life with the good news of Christ.
