The broad, liberal man is he who accepts all truth and humbly waits till the fuller wisdom of coming ages reconciles what is now apparently conflicting.
His Sic et Non became the foundation of the work of the "Summists," who, in the place of Abailard's purely critical work, occupied themselves in systematising authorities with a view to the reconciliation of their conflicting opinions.

During this week that she had been at the Red Mill it could not be said that she had gained Uncle Jabez's confidence that she had drawn close to him at all.
