 True love is the parent of humility. |
| Undoubtedly a man is to labor to better his condition, but first to better himself |
| War will never yield but to the principles of universal justice and love. |
| We do not pretend to know the whole nature and properties of God, but still we can form some clear ideas of him, and can reason from these ideas as justly as from any other. The truth is, that we cannot be said to comprehend any being whatever, not the simplest plant or animal. All have hidden properties. Our knowledge of all is limited. |
| We do, then, with all earnestness, though without reproaching our brethren, protest against the irrational and unscriptural doctrine of the Trinity. "To us," as to the Apostle and the primitive Christians, "there is one God, even the Father." With Jesus, we worship the Father, as the only living and true God. We are astonished, that any man can read the New Testament, and avoid the conviction, that the Father alone is God. |
| We grow by love . . . others are our nutriment. |
| We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace. |
| We ought, indeed, to expect occasional obscurity in such a book at the Bible . . . but God's wisdom is a pledge that whatever is necessary for us , and necessary for salvation, is revealed too plainly to be mistaken. |
| We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure. |
| We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure. |
| What is mysterious, secret, unknown, cannot at the same time be known as an object of faith. |
