Virtue Is Safe Only When It Is

Science Is Like Society And Trade, In Resting At Bottom Upon A Basis Of Faith. There Are Some Things Here, Too, That We Can Not Prove, Otherwise There Would Be Nothing We Can Prove. Science Is Busy With The Hither-end Of Things, Not The Thither-end. It Is A Mistake To Contrast Religion And Science In This Respect, And To Think Of Religion As Taking Everything For Granted, And Science As Doing Only Clean Work, And Having All The Loose Ends Gathered Up And Tucked In. We Never Reach The Roots Of Things In Science More Than In Religion.

Any Supreme Insight Is A Metaphor.

Christ Took Hold Of The Work Of The World's Saving In A Larger Way Than It Is Possible For Us To Do, And Therefore The Burden Of His Undertaking Came Upon Him In A Heavier, Wider, And More Crushing Way Than It Can Come Upon Us; And Therefore, While It Overwhelmed Him In Sorrow, Our Smaller Mission And Lighter Task Can With Entire Propriety Leave Us Buoyant And Gladsome.

Faith Is Mind At Its Best, Its Bravest, And Its Fiercest. Faith Is Thought Become Poetry, And Absorbing Into Itself The Soul's Great, Passions. Faith Is Intellect Carried Up To Its Transfigurement.

And Let Me Say Only This One Word More: That The Little Things That A Little Christian Does Are Not Any More Than The Larger Things That An Older Christian Does.
