Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.

All that this world knows of living lies in giving - and more giving; He that keeps, be sure he loses -Friendship grows by what it uses.

We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.

He that has no present Christ has a future, dark, chaotic, heaving with its destructive ocean; and over it there goes forever--black-pinioned winging its solitary and hopeless flight, the raven of his anxious thoughts, and finds no place to rest, and comes back again to the desolate ark with its foreboding croak of evil in the present and evil in the future.

To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty.

You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation.

Don't waste your sorrows
