The least thing can overthrow that kind of faith.

The imagination is an endless help towards faith, but it is no more faith than a dream of food will make us strong for the next day's work.

To know God as the beginning and end, the root and cause, the giver, the enabler, the love and joy and perfect good, the present one existence in all things and degrees and conditions, is life; and faith, in its simplest, truest, mightiest form is--to do his will.
Donal was making his way towards the eastern coast, in the certain hope of finding work of one kind or another.

He could have been well content to pass his life as a shepherd like his father but for two things: he knew what it would be well for others to know; and he had a hunger after the society of books.

A man must be able to do without whatever is denied him, but when his heart is hungry for an honest thing, he may use honest endeavour to obtain it.
