“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding. ”
“difference is trampled under foot and conformity is elevated to a virtue”
“I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart — the best brain.”
“All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.”
“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.”
