Religion is life essential.

There is no slave but the creature that wills against its Creator.

Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.

There is no strength in unbelief. Even the unbelief of what is false is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to disbelieve.

If we knew as much about heaven as God does, we would clap our hands every time a Christian dies.

...it is so silly of people to fancy that old age means crookedness and witheredness and feebleness and sticks and spectacles and rheumatism and forgetfulness! It is so silly! Old age has nothing whatever to do with all that. The right old age means strength and beauty and mirth and courage and clear eyes and strong painless limbs.

But there is no veil like light--no adamantine armor against hurt like the truth.
