Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.

No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.

It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.

Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.

The world is governed by opinion.

No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.
