I am feeling easy now, and you will well understand that after undergoing pain this ease is opening paradise. Invalids must be excused for being eloquent about themselves.

... it is seldom a medical man has true religious views--there is too much pride of intellect.

The first condition of human goodness is something to love; the second, something to reverence.

but very little achievement is required in order to pity another man's shortcomings.

God, immortality, duty - how inconceivable the first, how unbelievable the second, how peremptory and absolute the third.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

A fool or idiot is one who expects things to happen that never can happen.
