Faith is never identical with piety.

Summary

This quote suggests that having faith and being pious are not always the same thing. Faith typically refers to a belief or trust in something, while piety pertains to the quality of being devoutly religious or showing deep reverence. While one can have faith without being particularly religious or devoted, being pious does not necessarily guarantee true faith. In other words, this quote emphasizes the distinction between outward displays of religious devotion and the inner conviction that comes from genuine faith.

If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life -- if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.
