All faith consists essentially in the recognition of a world of spiritual values behind, yet not apart from, the world of natural phenomena.

Faith is an act of self-consecration, in which the will, the intellect, and the affections all have their place.

Faith is an act of rational choice, which determines us to act as if certain things were true, and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.

Our test is infallible. Whatever view of reality deepens our sense of the tremendous issues of life in the world wherein we move, is for us nearer the truth than any view which diminishes that sense.

Love remembered and consecrated by grief belongs, more clearly than the happy intercourse of friends, to the eternal world; it has proved itself stronger than death.

True faith is belief in the reality of absolute values.
