"When a man said, I believe in Christ, he really said, and meant to say, I believe in the beauty of goodness, in the desirableness of purity, in the right of righteousness to be ultimately triumphant. He declared that Christ was his ideal of perfection, that to that ideal he was in thought at least, loyal and true, and that he longed for the time to come when the actions of his life would be conformable to the thought of his soul." George Matheson.
