People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.

You doubt because you love truth.

I've been thinking about it a great deal, and it seems to me that although any one sixpence is as good as any other sixpence, not twenty lambs would do instead of one sheep whose face you knew. Somehow, when once you've looked into anybody's eyes, right deep down into them, I mean, nobody will do for that one any more . Nobody, ever so beautiful or so good, will make up for that one going out of sight.

Will is not unfrequently weakness.

Endurance must conquer, where force could not reach.

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

A true friend is forever a friend.
