Quotes
- “Research! Research! A mere excuse for idleness; it has never achieved, and will never achieve any results of the slightest value.”
- “We have sought truth, and sometimes perhaps found it. But have we had any fun?”
- “Learn just enough of the subject [metaphysics] to enable your mind to get rid of it.”
- “Doubt comes in at the window, when Inquiry is denied at the door.”
- “[The office of the interpreter] is to read Scripture like any other book.”
- “Nowhere probably is there more true feeling, and nowhere worse taste, than in a churchyard (p. 244).”
