The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow

Smil

The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.

Society

The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion

Study

Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole

Suspicion

Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society

Suspicion

Theology

When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.

Thinking

He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death

The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed. If you pull it upon your shoulders, your feet are left bare; if you thrust it down to your feet, your shoulders are uncovered.

Ability

I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
