“Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience.”

“One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team.”

“Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.”

“Faith must precede all effort to understand. Reflection upon revealed truth naturally follows the advent of faith, but faith comes first to the hearing ear, not to the cogitating mind.”

“Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its faith not in the living God, but in dying men.”

“Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.”

“Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.”
