God has a purpose in every life, and when the soul is completely yielded and acquiescent, He will certainly realize it. Blessed is he who has never thwarted the working of the divine ideal.

I believe that if there is one thing which pierces the Master's heart with unutterable grief, it is not the world's iniquity, but the Church's indifferences.

The man who prays grows, and the muscles of the soul swell from this whipcord to iron bands.

How often God takes away our consolations, that we may only love Him for Himself; and reveals our sinfulness, that we may better appreciate the completeness of his salvation!

The spirit of the gospel is in absolute disagreement with the spirit of the world.

Go on day by day fulfilling the task of the day, and leaving the results with God.

Habits of prayer need careful cultivation.
