Life and religion are one, or neither is any thing.

The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.

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

It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.

Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths. Cometh white-robed Sorrow, stooping and wan, and flingeth wide the door she must not enter.

It matters little where a man may be at this moment; the point is whether he is growing.

Endurance must conquer, where force could not reach.
