_Elbert Hubbard_
¶ I believe in the Motherhood of God. I believe in the blessed Trinity
of Father, Mother and Child. ¶ I believe that God is here, and that we
are as near Him now as ever we shall be. I do not believe He started
this world a-going and went away and left it to run itself. I believe
that we are all sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be. I believe the only way we can reach the Kingdom of Heaven is to have
the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts. ¶ I believe in freedom—social,
economic, domestic, political, mental, spiritual ❦ I believe in every man
minding his own business. I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship,
calm sleep, beautiful thoughts. ¶ I believe in the purifying process of
sorrow, and I believe that death is a manifestation of life. I believe
the Universe is planned for good ❦
