The Puritan did not stop to think; he recognized God in his soul, and acted.

Wendell Phillips (Science)
The paleontological evidence before us today clearly demonstrates ordered progressive change with the successive development of new faunal and floral assemblages through the changing epochs of our earth’s history. There should be no real conflict between science, which is the search for truth, and Christ’s teachings, which I hold to be truth itself. It is only when scientists remove God from creation that the Christian is faced with an irreconcilable situation.

Wendell Phillips (Reformer)
The reformer is careless of numbers, disregards popularity, and deals only with ideas, conscience, and common sense. He feels, with Copernicus, that as God waited long for an interpreter, so he can wait for his followers.

One on God’s side is a majority.

Wendell Phillips (Society)
Society,–the only field where the sexes have ever met on terms of equality, the arena where character is formed and studied, the cradle and the realm of public opinion, the crucible of ideas, the world’s university, at once a school and a theater, the spur and the crown of ambition, the tribunal which unmasks pretension and stamps real merit, the power that gives government leave to be, and outruns the lazy Church in fixing the moral sense of the eye.

Wendell Phillips (Difference)
Difference of religion breeds more quarrels than difference of politics.
Wendell Phillips (Lawyer, 1811 – 1884)
Wendell Phillips (Battle)
Christianity is a battle, not a dream.

Wendell Phillips (Gravestone)
Write on my gravestone: ‘Infidel, Traitor.’, infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.

G. K. Chesterton (Apology)
A stiff apology is a second insult… The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
G. K. Chesterton (Writer, 1874 – 1936)
G. K. Chesterton (Evolutionists)
The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing link except the fact that it is missing.
