He who truly believes that which prompts him to an action has looked upon the action to lust after it, he has committed it already in his heart.

An atmosphere of beliefs and conceptions has been formed by the labours and struggles of our forefathers, which enables us to breathe amid the various and complex circumstances of our life.

No simplicity of mind, no obscurity of station, can escape the universal duty of questioning all that we believe.

If a belief is not realized immediately in open deeds, it is stored up for the guidance of the future.

He who truly believes that which prompts him to an action has looked upon the action to lust after it, he has committed it already in his heart.

When an action is once done, it is right or wrong for ever; no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that.

Thought is powerless, except it make something outside of itself: the thought which conquers the world is not contemplative but active.
