Patience is the companion of wisdom.

Without God, man cannot, and without man, God will not.

Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.

And he departed from our sight that we might return to our hearts and find him there. For he left us, and behold, he is here.

God does not expect us to submit our faith to him without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity.
