Faith Is Illuminative, Not Operative; It Does Not Force Obedience, Though It Increases Responsibility; It Heightens Guilt, But It Does Not Prevent Sin. The Will Is The Source Of Action.

Such Is The Constitution Of The Human Mind, That Any Kind Of Knowledge, If It Be Really Such, Is Its Own Reward.
