Every sort of energy and endurance, of courage and capacity for handling life's evils, is set free in those who have religious faith.

Religion must be considered vindicated in a certain way from the attacks of her critics.

In the dim background of our mind we know meanwhile what we ought to be doing: getting up, dressing ourselves, answering the person who has spoken to us, trying to make the next step in our reasoning. But somehow we cannot start.

All the daily routine of life, our dressing and undressing, the coming and going from our work or carrying through of its various operations, is utterly without mental reference to pleasure and pain, except under rarely realized conditions.

Life shall be built in doing and suffering and creating.

Regarding mutual tolerance: It is negative in one sense, but positive in another. It absolutely forbids us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaninglessness of forms of existence other than our own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect, and indulge those whom we see harmlessly interested and happy in their own ways, however unintelligible these may be to us. Hands off.

Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that assures the successful outcome of any venture.
