There is an aching that is worse than any pain.

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

But more impressive than the facts and figures as to height, width, age, etc., are the entrancing beauty and tranquility that pervade the forest, the feelings of peace, awe and reverence that it inspires.

The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.

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