Trust to God to weave your thread into the great web, though the pattern shows it not yet.

Ambition is but the evil shadow of aspiration.

It is the heart that is not sure of its God that is afraid to laugh in His presence.

It is by loving and not by being loved that one can come nearest to the soul of another.

What I would say is this, that the light is not blinding because God would hide, but because the truth is too glorious for our vision.

Oh, I believe that there is no away; that no love, no life, goes ever from us; it goes as He went, that it may come again, deeper and closer and surer, and be with us always, even to the end of the world.

One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
