There are only two centres, God and ourselves; and we must rest on one or on the other. - Henry Edward Manning

Twenty errors in practice are as nothing compared with one error in principle. Twenty errors in practice may be corrected, and the twenty-first may never be committed; but one erroneous principle is like a damaged wheel in a machine. It can never work correctly afterwards. One speculative error will produce an infinite series of practical errors. The series is inexhaustible, until the machine itself is either amended or destroyed.

No ignorance of truth is a personal sin before God, except that ignorance which springs from personal sin.

Our character is our will; for what we will we are.
