Quotations

  • Our abiding belief is that just as the workmen in the tunnel of St. Gothard, working from either end, met at last to shake hands in the very central root of the mountain, so students of nature and students of Christianity will yet join hands in the unity of reason and faith, in the heart of their deepest mysteries.
    • Reported in Josiah H. Gilbert (ed.) Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (Troy, NY: H. B. Nims and Co, 1883) p. 530
