    I saw God! Do you doubt it?
    Do you dare to doubt it?
    I saw the Almighty Man! His hand
    Was resting on a mountain!
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    That reality is ‘independent’ means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sensible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    In necessary things, unity; in disputed things, liberty; in all things, charity.
    —Variously Ascribed.

    The formulation was used as a motto by the English Nonconformist clergyman Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
