Most of us will be eclectics to this side or that according to our temperament. The human mind is not a dignified organ, and I do not see how we can exercise it sincerely except through eclecticism. And the only advice I would offer my fellow eclectics is: "Do not be proud of your inconsistency. It is a pity, it is a pity that we should be equipped like this. It is a pity that Man cannot be at the same time impressive and truthful."

 
E. M. Forster
 

Women ... do not have to forsake the "wisdom of the heart" and become men. They need only transfer the primary force of their supportiveness to themselves and to each other—but never to the point of self-sacrifice.

 
Phyllis Chesler
 

Oh, when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing, —
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"

 
Josiah (editor and author) Conder
 

For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity, a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.

 
William Blake
 

It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.
