Morality is good, and is accepted of God, as far as it goes; but the difficulty is, it does not go far enough.

God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope or courage. Pear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.

I beseech you to correct one fault - severe speech of others; never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may be.

Reason can tell how love affects us, but cannot tell what love is.

Conscience is the frame of character, and love is the covering for it.

The test of Christian character should be that a man is a joy-bearing agent to the world.

Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities.
