 Religion is a monumental chapter in the history of human egotism |
| Religion is either a dull habit or an acute fever. |
| Religion is nothing if it be not the vital act by which the entire mind seeks to save itself by clinging to the principle from which it draws its life. This act is prayer, by which term I understand no vain exercise of words, no mere repetition of certain sacred formula, but the very movement itself of the soul, putting itself in a personal relation of contact with the mysterious power of which it feels the presence -- it may be even before it has a name by which to call it. |

| Smitten as we are with the vision of social righteousness, a God indifferent to everything but adulation, and full of partiality for his individual favorites, lacks an essential element of largeness. |
| So far war has been the only force that can discipline a whole community. |

| Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world. |
| Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results. |
| Success plus Self-esteem equals Pretensions. |
| Tell him to live by yes and no -- yes to everything good, no to everything bad. |
| The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one. |
