“Christ saw much in this world to weep over, and much to pray over: but he saw nothing in it to look upon with contempt.”

“There is no tariff so injurious as that with which sectarian bigotry guards its commodities. It dwarfs the soul by shutting out truths from other continents of thought, and checks the circulation of its own.”

“Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are. To be is the great thing.”
