Ere thou sleepest, gently lay Every troubled thought away; Put off worry and distress As thou puttest off thy dress; Drop thy burden and thy care In the quiet arms of prayer. Lord thou knowest how I live, All I'VE DONE AMISS FORGIVE; ALL OF GOOD I'VE TRIED TO DO STRENGTHEN, bless and carry through; All I love in safety keep While in Thee I fall asleep.

If only the best birds sang, the forest would be silent.

There is no conflict between the Old and the New; the conflict is between the False and the True.

The best rose-bush, after all, is not that which has the fewest thorns, but that which bears the finest roses.

There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.

Love is not getting, but giving; It is goodness, and honor, and peace and pure living.

Love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
