The great basis of the Christian faith is compassion; do not dismiss that from your hearts, neither will your Maker.

Truth stood on one side and Ease on the other; it has often been so.

The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.

Intellect is stronger than cannon.

Man is the highest product of his own history. The discoverer finds nothing so grand or tall as himself, nothing so valuable to him. The greatest star is at the small end, of the telescope,--the star that is looking, not looked after nor looked at.

There is no intercessor, angel, mediator, between man and God; for man can speak and God hear, each for himself. He requires no advocates to plead for men.

The most useful is the greatest.
