Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And Hope without an object cannot live.

Work without Hope (1825)

He, who begins by loving Christianity better than Truth, will proceed by loving his own Sect or Church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.

Aids to Reflection (1825)

Believe, and if thy belief be right, that insight which gradually transmutes faith into knowledge will be the reward of that belief.

Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine word which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart; which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and feelings.
