There is one inevitable criterion of judgment touching religious faith ... Can you reduce it to practice? If not have none of it.
~ Hosea Ballou
Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.
Energy, like the biblical grain of the mustard-seed, will remove mountains.
Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature.
Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.
Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.
Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way.
Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.
