Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws – a thing which can never be demonstrated. – Tryon Edwards
Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine. – Tryon Edwards
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so. – Tryon Edwards
