“Religion, like education, demands faith in the capacity of the individual soul. The work of a teacher becomes simply heart-breaking if he is not sustained by faith in the potential quality of each young life”
—Francis Greenwood Peabody, The Religion of an Educated Man (1903) p. 20 (Unitarian, educator, minister)
“A great many people seem to think that religion is a kind of luxury in life, a Sunday delicacy, an educated taste, an unessential food, which one can, at his discretion, take or go without.”
—Francis Greenwood Peabody, Mornings in the College Chapel (1896) p.28 (Unitarian, educator, ethicist)
“In every cell of the meanest flower that breathes, there is manifested the unity of the universe. So it is in the growth of the soul. The natural and the supernatural conspire. The light within is one with the light from above.”
—Francis Greenwood Peabody, The Religion of An Educated Man (1903) p. 23 (Unitarian, educator, ethicist)
