Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.
Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.
Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.
All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory they have no power over the substance of original justice.
People crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.
Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.
When bad men combine, the good must associate else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
