If you are not a thinking man, to what purpose are you a man at all?.

I dislike the frequent use of the word virtue, instead of righteousness, in the pulpit; in prayer or preaching before a Christian community, it sounds too much like pagan philosophy.

The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.

Enlist the interests of stern Morality and religious Enthusiasm in the cause of Political Liberty, as in the time of the old Puritans, and it will be irresistible.

To doubt has more of faith ... than that blank negation of all such thoughts and feelings which is the lot of the herd of church-and-meeting trotters.

There is nothing insignificant-nothing.

Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends.
