My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'

A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

If you have no character to lose, people will have no faith in you

Faith... Must be enforced by reason...When faith becomes blind it dies.

When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

Just as the body cannot exist without blood, so the soul needs the matchless and pure strength of faith
