Life, that ever needs forgiveness, has, for its first duty, to forgive.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonWhat is past is past, there is a future left to all men, who have the virtue to repent and the energy to atone.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonLove is rarely a hypocrite; but hate--how detect and how guard against it! It lurks where you least expect it; it is created by causes that you can the least foresee; and civilization multiplies its varieties, whilst it favors its disguise.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonTime, O my friend, is money! Time wasted can never conduce to money well managed.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonGenius is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonThere is a great deal we never think of calling religion that is still fruit unto God, and garnered by Him in the harvest. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, patience, goodness. I affirm that if these fruits are found in any form, whether you show your patience as a woman nursing a fretful child, or as a man attending to the vexing detail of a business, or as a physician following the dark mazes of sickness, or as a mechanic fitting the joints and valves of a locomotive; being honest true besides, you bring forth truth unto God.
