All The Strength And Force

All The Strength And Force Of Man Comes From His Faith In Things Unseen. He Who Believes Is Strong; He Who Doubts Is Weak. Strong Convictions Precede Great Actions. The Man Strongly Possessed Of An Idea Is The Master Of All Who Are Uncertain Or Wavering. Clear, Deep, Living Convictions Rule The World.

If We Desire To Do What Will Please God, And What Will Help Men, We Presently Find Ourselves Taken Out Of Our Narrow Habits Of Thought And Action; We Find New Elements Of Our Nature Called Into Activity; We Are No Longer Running Along A Narrow Track Of Selfish Habit.

Love Is The Spirit Of Life, And Makes All Things Live.

Progress, In The Sense Of Acquisition, Is Something; But Progress In The Sense Of Being, Is A Great Deal More. To Grow Higher, Deeper, Wider, As The Years Go On; To Conquer Difficulties, And Acquire More And More Power; To Feel All One's Faculties Unfolding, And Truth Descending Into The Soul,--this Makes Life Worth Living.

Art Itself, In All Its Methods, Is The Child Of Religion. The Highest And Best Works In Architecture, Sculpture And Painting, Poetry And Music, Have Been Born Out Of The Religion Of Nature.
