Skepticism Has Never Founded Empires, Established Principals,

Humanity Is So Constituted That The Basest Criminal Represents You And Me, As Well As The Most Glorious Saint That Walks On High. We Are Reflected In All Other Men; All Other Men Are Embodied In Us.

If We Would Induce Others To Act Virtuously, It Will Prove More Effectual To Show Them Their Capacities Than To Expose Their Weakness--to Attract Them By A Fairer Ideal Than To Terrify Them By Pictures Of Misery And Shame.

A Man Can No More Be A Christian Without Facing Evil And Conquering It Than He Can Be A Soldier Without Going To Battle, Facing The Cannon's Mouth, And Encountering The Enemy In The Field.

Tribulation Will Not Hurt You, Unless As It Too Often Does; It Hardens You And Makes You Sour, Narrow And Skeptical

Truth Is The Root, But Human Sympathy Is The Flower Of Practical Life.
