Reason cannot remain a bare intellectual faculty; it must become a faculty of judgment dealing with the question of values.

The Venture of Rational Faith (1908)

None of us wants to be average. That we are so is a melancholy fact borne in upon us in middle life, and we do not always relish it.

The Venture of Rational Faith (1908)

All progress in knowledge takes place through the correction of that which has been received on authority, ... but without the huge body of traditional knowledge, accurate and inaccurate together, there would be nothing even to correct. Progress is not made in spite of authority, but by means of it.
