Strona 22 - With all her golden inwardness ; And as blind nestlings, unafraid, Stretch up wide-mouthed to every shade By which their downy dream is stirred, Taking it for the mother-bird, So, when God's shadow, which is light, Unheralded, by day or night, My wakening instincts falls across, Silent as sunbeams over moss, In my heart's nest half-conscious things Stir with a helpless sense of wings, Lift themselves up, and tremble long With premonitions sweet of song.
Strona 30 - We must remain content with the belief that we have that knowledge of God which is best adapted to our wants and training. How far that knowledge represents God as He is, we know not, and we have no need to know.

Strona 27 - Nothing before, nothing behind; The steps of Faith Fall on the seeming void, and find The rock beneath.
Strona 5 - What ought I to do ? and For what may I hope ? But it is pretty plain that these three resolve themselves, in the long run, into the first. For rational expectation and moral action are alike based upon beliefs ; and a belief is void of justification unless its subject-matter lies within the boundaries of possible knowledge, and unless its evidence satisfies the conditions which experience imposes as the guarantee of credibility.
Strona 10 - The nature of the case implies, that the human mind is competent to sit in moral and spiritual judgment on a professed revelation ; and to decide (if the case seem to require it) in the following tone : " This doctrine attributes to God, that which we should all call harsh, cruel, or unjust in Man ; it is therefore intrinsically inadmissible...
Strona 26 - faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proving of things not seen.
