Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.

The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.
