    Religion is a vital living thing, still growing and working, and capable of endless extension and development like all other fields of thought.

    There is no small and there is no great in nature

    “The good man differs from God in nothing but duration.”’
  • Valeria Sedanohas quoted4 years ago
    The fact is that our individual lives are so very short compared with the great periods over which these changes extend, that we can form very little conception of what is coming
