"To him, as to so many, truth is so infinitely great that all we can do with our poor human utterances is to try and clothe it in such language as will make it clear to ourselves, and clear to those to whom God sends us with a message; but meanwhile above us and our thoughts--above our broken lights--God in His mercy, God in His love, God in His infinite nature is greater than all."

Why should we mis-know one another, fight not against the enemy, but against ourselves, from mere difference of uniform?"
"Call him not heretic whose works attest His faith in goodness by no creed confessed. Whatever in love's name is truly done To free the bound and lift the fallen one Is done to Christ. Whoso in deed and word Is not against Him labours for our Lord. When He, who, sad and weary, longing sore For love's sweet service, sought the sisters' door, One saw the heavenly, one the human guest, But who shall say which loved the Master best?"
"Hast thou made much of words, and forms, and tests, And thought but little of the peace and love,-- His Gospel to the poor? Dost thou condemn Thy brother, looking down, in pride of heart, On each poor wanderer from the fold of Truth?... Go thy way!-- Take Heaven's own armour for the heavenly strife, Welcome all helpers in thy war with sin ... And learn through all the future of thy years To form thy life in likeness of thy Lord's!"

'It is impossible,' he said, 'to imagine that the Almighty will ask you, when you come before Him in the next life, what your particular form of creed was; but the question will rather be, "Have you been true to yourself and given in My name a cup of cold water to one of these little ones?"'"
