Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing.

A heart renewed--a loving heart--a penitent and humble heart--a heart broken and contrite, purified by love--that and only that is the rest of men. Spotlessness may do for angels, repentance unto life is the highest that belongs to man.

We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.

The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.

Christ within us, the hope of glory.

The true aim of every one who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions,but to kindle minds.

In the darkest hour through which a human soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet even then it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward.
