My friends, let us try to follow the Saviour's steps; let us remember all day long what it is to be men; that it is to have every one whom we meet for our brother in the sight of God; that it is this, never to meet anyone, however bad he may be, for whom we cannot say: "Christ died for that man, and Christ cares for him still. He is precious in God's eyes, and he shall be precious in mine also".

Therefore, let us be patient, patient; and let God our Father teach His own lesson, His own way. Let us try to learn it well and quickly; but do not let us fancy that He will ring the school-bell, and send us to play before our lesson is learnt.

Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make Life, Death, and the vast Forever one grand, sweet song.

Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.

Nature's deepest laws, her only true laws, are her invisible ones.

I go at what I have to do as if there were nothing else in the world for me to do.

Music has been called the speech of the angels; I will go farther and call it the speech of God Himself.
