Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis.
The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.
Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind.
The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.
Man lives in a world of surmise, of mystery, of uncertainties.
One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.
