# Warfield on the Foundation-Stone of Piety

“Not even with the most assiduous use of the corporate expression of the religious life of the community have you reached the foundation-stone of your piety. That is to be found, of course, in your closets, or rather in your hearts, in your private religious exercises, and in your intimate religious aspirations.” — [**B**.**B. Warfield**](/authors/b-b-warfield), *The Religious Life of Theological Students* (1912-1913)
