Of the Theocentric nature of human knowledge:
“Every line of true knowledge must find its completeness as it converges on God, just as every beam of day-light leads the eye to the sun. If [Christian] religion in excluded from our study, every process of thought will be arrested before it reaches its proper goal. The structure of thought must remain a truncated cone, with its proper apex lacking.”
Of the philosophical/religious neutrality pretentiously posed by secular educationalists:
“The instructor has to teach history, cosmogony, psychology, ethics, the laws of nations. How can he do it without saying anything favorable or unfavorable about the beliefs of evangelical Christians, Catholics, Socinians, Deists, pantheists, materialists or fetish worshippers, who all claim equal rights under American institutions? His teaching will indeed be ‘the play of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet omitted.”
