To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all - but to believe in the unseen is a triumph and a blessing.
Without the assistance of the Divine Being ... I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both *may* be, and one *must* be, wrong. God cannot be *for* and *against* the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaption to effect His purpose. I am almost ready to say that this is probably true - that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By His mere great power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either *saved* or *destroyed* the Union without human contest. Yet the contest began, And, having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.
That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.
That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.
Take all that you can of this book upon reason, and the balance on faith, and you will live and die a happier man. (When a skeptic expressed surprise to see him reading a Bible)
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
