You will find that when the heart of man said: "I believe in nothing, for I see nothing," it did not speak the last word on the subject. You will ...

Jesus knew their thoughts and told them it was as easy for him to heal the souls of men, as it was to heal their bodies. And then, to show them that he had power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the sick man—"Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and went ...

You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue; You shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes. ...

One of the characteristics of the living is the power to heal the irreparable, to forget the irreplaceable.

Learned theologians were deputed to confer with him at Paris, whom he astonished and confounded by his knowledge of Scripture; they declared that they had never met a heretic better able to defend his ...

On the other hand, in things sought only for the sake of something else, that agent would seem to have greater power, who is able to achieve his purpose with fewer means and those nearest to hand: thus ...
