remarks to acc by dick fosdick, 1904

We can reexamine doubts and not let them be synonymous with a lack of confidence. But how far down that road can one travel before one loses faith in the power of purpose? Faith may know but it can't be proved. You might prove that purpose has lead you.

And woe comes to them by many forms, there is another purpose reached only by those for whom purpose displaces sympathy and understanding.
