We are always searching for God afar off, when all the while He is nearer to us than our own soul.

Every moment of life brings an opportunity for being conscious of human feeling, in prosperity, in adversity, in all conditions. It costs very little; only a little thought is necessary.

By our trust in the divine beauty in every person we develop that beauty in ourselves.
