Pagina 10 - I considered that Mr. Keble met this difficulty by ascribing the firmness of assent which we give to religious doctrine, not to the probabilities which introduced it, but to the living power of faith and love which accepted it.
Pagina 122 - It is the cumulation of probabilities, independent of each other, arising out of the nature and circumstances of the particular case which is under review; probabilities too fine to avail separately, too subtle and circuitous to be convertible into syllogisms, too numerous and various for such conversion, even were they convertible.
Pagina 182 - It becomes a license to take up any or no religion, to take up this or that and let it go again, to go to church, to go to chapel, to boast of being above all religions and to be an impartial critic of each of them. Conscience is a stern monitor, but in this century it has been superseded by a counterfeit, which the eighteen centuries prior to it never heard of, and could not have mistaken for it, if they had.
Pagina 28 - There are some who rest their divine mission on their own unsupported assertion; others, who rest it upon their popularity; others, on their success; and others, who rest it upon their temporal distinctions. This last case has, perhaps, been too much our own; I fear we have neglected the real ground on which our authority is built, — our apostolical descent.
Pagina 194 - For myself, I would simply confess that no doctrine of the Church can be rigorously proved by historical evidence : but at the same time that no doctrine can be simply disproved by it.
Pagina 67 - Liberalism in religion is the doctrine that there is no positive truth in religion, but that one creed is as good as another, and this is the teaching which is gaining substance and force daily.
Pagina 98 - ... separated from it, in the minds of individuals and of the community. It will, in proportion to its native vigour and subtlety, introduce itself into the framework and details of social life, changing public opinion, and strengthening or undermining the foundations of established order.
Pagina 126 - ... that our merit lies in seeking, not in possessing ; that it is a duty to follow what seems to us true, without a fear lest it should not be true ; that it may be a gain to succeed, and can be no harm to fail ; that we may take up and lay down opinions at pleasure ; that belief belongs to the mere intellect, not to the heart also ; that we may safely trust to ourselves in matters of Faith, and need no other guide, — this is the principle of philosophies and heresies, which is very weakness.
Pagina 15 - As to the Roman Catholic system, I have ever detested it so much that I cannot detest it more by seeing it ; but to the Catholic system I am more attached than ever...
Pagina 213 - Certainly, if I am obliged to bring religion into after-dinner toasts, (which indeed does not seem quite the thing) I shall drink, — to the Pope, if you please, — still, to Conscience first, and to the Pope afterwards.
