The music of the Gospel leads us home.

Deep theology is the best fuel of devotion; it readily catches fire, and once kindled it burns long.

Kind words produce happiness. How often have we ourselves been made happy by kind words, in a manner and to an extent which we are unable to explain!

We cannot resist the conviction that this world is for us only the porch of another and more magnificent temple of the Creator's majesty.

Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel's song which had lost its way and come to earth.

There is a great deal of self-will in the world, but very little genuine independence of character.

It has always seemed to me that a love of natural objects, and the depth, as well as exuberance and refinement of mind, produced by an intelligent delight in scenery, are elements of the first importance in the education of the young.
