Pity enlarges the heart.

God is so good that He only awaits our desire to overwhelm us with the gift of himself.

Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.

Temptations are a file which rub off much of the rust of our self-confidence.

To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid “big” sins-is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?

The blood of a nation ought never to be shed except for its own preservation in the utmost extremity.

The past but lives in written words: a thousand ages were blank if books had not evoked their ghosts, and kept the pale unbodied shades to warn us from fleshless lips.
