• The world's greatest need . . . is mutual confidence. No human being ever knows all the secrets of another's heart.

• Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and intertwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally, I do not mean figuratively, but literally impossible for us to figure what the loss would be if these teachings were removed.
