|  For myself, if I am to stake all I have and hope to be upon anything, I will venture it upon the abounding fullness of God - upon the assurance that, as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts. | | Conflict between science and religion a dangerous foe. | | When immortality becomes for us no longer a matter of academic discussion, but the most vital of all questions; we shall find our comfort where so many before us have found it, in the ancient words. | | Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know, I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that, if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams, it will transcend them. | | Far from being hostile to religion is capable of rendering religion important services. | | The need for some venture of faith still remains; one must stake one's life upon something. | | Not as a demonstrated natural law, but as a working hypothesis. |
