Additional quotes by Sophie Swetchine

My experience is that Christianity dispels more mystery than it involves. With Christianity, it is twilight in the world; without it, night. Christianity does not finish the statue,—that is heaven's work; but it "rough-hews" all things,—truth, the mind, the soul.

The only true method of action in this world is to be in it, but not of it.

The inventory of my faith for this lower world is soon made out. I believe in Him who made it.
