English theologian (1829-1890)
Again and again the Church of Christ has been all but engulfed, as men might have deemed, in the billows; again and again the storm has been calmed by the Master, Who had seemed for awhile to sleep.
HENRY PARRY LIDDON
Sermons Preached Before the University of Oxford
So long as men die, life will reassert its tragic interest from time to time with fresh energy, and to this interest Christianity alone can respond. If the scientific people could rid us of death, they might indeed hope to win over the heart and conscience of the world, permanently, to some form of non-theistic speculation. As it is, the tide ebbs, as I believe, only that it may flow again.

letter to C. T. Redington, June 27, 1877
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.
