Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.

Skepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.

In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.

Earnestness alone makes life eternity.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, can ever compel the soul of a person to believe or to disbelieve.

He that will not work according to his faculty, let him perish according to his necessity: there is no law juster than that.

Necessity dispenseth with decorum.
