To Believe Is To Be Strong. Doubt

We Hear In These Days A Great Deal Respecting Rights--the Rights Of Private Judgment, The Rights Of Labor, The Rights Of Property, And The Rights Of Man. Rights Are Grand Things, Divine Things In This World Of God's; But The Way In Which We Expound These Rights, Alas! Seems To Me To Be The Very Incarnation Of Selfishness. I Can See Nothing Very Noble In A Man Who Is Forever Going About Calling For His Own Rights. Alas! Alas! For The Man Who Feels Nothing More Grand In This Wondrous, Divine World Than His Own Rights.

The Charm Of The Words Of Great Men, Those Grand Sayings Which Are Recognized As True As Soon As Heard, Is This, That You Recognize Them As Wisdom Which Has Passed Across Your Own Mind. You Feel That They Are Your Own Thoughts Come Back To You.

Poetry Creates Life; Science Dissects Death.

... Religious Controversy Does Only Harm. It Destroys Humble Inquiry After Truth, And Throws All The Energies Into An Attempt To Prove Ourselves Right-a Spirit In Which No Man Gets At Truth.

In All Matters Of Eternal Truth, The Soul Is Before The Intellect; The Things Of God Are Spiritually Discerned. You Know Truth By Being True; You Recognize God By Being Like Him.
