He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

It is with this as with religion: one usually believes what he has been taught.

If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
One cannot comprehend Him through reason, even if one reasoned for ages.
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright.

As one may bring himself to believe almost anything he is inclined to believe, it makes all the difference whether we begin or end with the inquiry, 'What is truth?'
