Re: time for a spiritual "physical"

"He whose faith never doubted, may justly doubt of his faith."

--from an early notebook of Robert Boyle, in his 21st year.

I quote this for my students each term, since Boyle wrote down when he was
their age (he might have copied it from another source, or he might have
phrased it thusly himself) and since it very clearly conveys the view (which
I share) that doubt is the opposite side of the coin of faith.
