Many a life has been injured by the constant expectation of death. It is life we have to do with, not death. The best preparation for the night is to work diligently while the day lasts. The best preparation for death is life.

It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down.

Past tears are present strength.

I am an emptiness for Thee to fill; my soul a cavern for Thy sea

Somehow, I can't say how, it tells me that all is right; that it is coming to swallow up all cries.

He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.

No story ever really ends, and I think I know why.
