Christ within us, the hope of glory.

Never does a man know the force that is in him till some mighty affliction or grief has humanized the soul.

Life, like war, is a series of mistakes,he is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. Forget mistakes: organize victory out of mistakes.

To grieve over sin is one thing, to repent is another.

Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.

A life of prayer is a life whose litanies are ever fresh acts of self-devoting love.

Sow the seeds of life — humbleness, pure-heartedness, love; and in the long eternity which lies before the soul, every minutest grain will come up again with an increase of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold.
