It is vain to think that any weariness, however caused, any burden, however slight, may be got rid of otherwise than by bowing the neck to the yoke of the Father's will. There can be no other rest for heart and soul than He has created. From every burden, from every anxiety, from all dread of shame or loss, even loss of love itself, that yoke will set us free.

Half of the misery in the world comes from trying to look, instead of trying to be, what one is not.

To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.

Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.

God's finger can touch nothing but to mold it into loveliness.

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

Religion is life essential.
