All the great things of humanity have been accomplished in the name of absolute principles.
From Ernest Renan
Our opinions become fixed at the point where we stop thinking.
Let us remember that sorrow alone is the creator of great things.
No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life.
He whom God has touched will always be a being apart: he is, whatever he may do, a stranger among men; he is marked by a sign.
In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact.
You may take great comfort from the fact that suffering inwardly for the sake of truth proves abundantly that one loves it and marks one out as being of the elect.
All history is incomprehensible without Christ.
Blessed are the blind, for they know not enough to ask why.
God, if there is a God, take my soul, if I have a soul.
