It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.

From 'The Efficiency of the Passive Virtues', New Life, Sermons for the New Life (1869), 412.
Not all the winds, and storms, and earthquakes, and seas, and seasons of the world, have done so much to revolutionize the earth as Man, the power of an endless life, has done since the day he came forth upon it, and received dominion over it.
— Horace Bushnell
From Sermon on the Power of Endless Life, and Other Sermons (1876), 310.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
