English theologian (1829-1890)
If a religious principle is worth anything, it applies to a million of human beings as truly as to one; and the difficulty of insisting on its wider application does not furnish any proof that it ought not to be so applied.

I am glad that the good Archbishop of Dublin is taking a holiday; he needs one. Nothing can exceed the difficulty, if not the misery, of his position. A sensitive, high-minded scholar and Churchman, like Daniel in the lion's den -- only the Irish lay delegates do not seem to possess very lionlike attributes. May God strengthen him and carry him through.

letter to Miss Mirehouse, February 12, 1873
When the fields of human knowledge are so various and so vast as is the case in our day, the utmost that can be done by single minds not of encyclopedic range, is to master one subject or branch of subject as thoroughly as possible, and to rest content with knowing that others are working in regions where neither time nor strength will permit us to enter.
