“The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter usfrom the support of a cause we believe to be just.”
“Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.”
“If we reason that we want happiness for others, not for ourselves, then we ought justly to be suspected of failing to recognize human nature for what it is and of wishing to turn men into machines.”
“When we fail, our pride supports us, and when we succeed it betrays us.”
“We probably have a greater love for those we support than for those who support us. Our vanity carries more weight than our self-interest.”
“There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived.”
