The highest order that was ever instituted on earth is the order of faith.

There is not a heart but has its moments of longing, yearning for something better; nobler; holier than it knows now.

No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils.

In engineering, that only is great which achieves. It matters not what the intention is, he who in the day of battle is not victorious is not saved by his intention.

There is no greater crime than to stand between a man and his development; to take any law or institution and put it around him like a collar, and fasten it there, so that as he grows and enlarges, he presses against it till he suffocates and dies.

There is not a single heart but has its moments of longing.

There is a dew in one flower and not in another, because one opens in cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself, and the drops run off. God rains His goodness and mercy as widespread as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them.
