"There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is, not to be true to the best one knows."

"“Knowledge, without common sense," says Lee, "is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, is it death." But with common sense, it is wisdom; with method, it is power; with charity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue and life and peace."

"Religion is more like a response to a friend than it is like obedience to an expert."
