Sida 10 - First of all there must be law; that is, a fixed rule of teaching what is to be done and what is to be left undone.
Sida 110 - And the Sons of Mary smile and are blessed — they know the angels are on their side. They know in them is the Grace confessed, and for them are the Mercies multiplied. They sit at the Feet— they hear the Word— they see how truly the Promise runs; They have cast their burden upon the Lord, and — the Lord He lays it on Martha's Sons!
Sida 107 - On the other hand the arts of business are arts of bargaining, effrontery, salesmanship, make-believe, and are directed to the gain of the business man at the cost of the community, at large and in detail. Neither tangible performance nor the common good is a business proposition.

Sida 319 - Faith to debar human reason from scrutinising their pronouncements. These others are doing well enough, no doubt; perhaps as well as might reasonably be expected under the circumstances, but they are a feeble thing in comparison. Saul has slain his thousands, perhaps, but David has slain his tens of thousands.
Sida 116 - It is usual, indeed it seems inevitable, in all such instances of the conventional exaltation of nothing-in-particular, that there is also imputed to the person who so becomes a personage something in the way of service to the common good. Men like to believe that the personages whom they so admire by force of conventional routine are also of some use, as well as of great distinction — that they even somehow contribute, or at least conduce, to the material well-being at large.
Sida 19 - It is a matter of non-purposive change in the habits of individuals. . . . any resulting revision of the principles of conduct will come in as a drift of habituation rather than a dispassionately reasoned adaptation of conduct to the circumstances of the case. It appears always to be a matter of "forced movements...
