No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.

Truthfulness is godliness.

Every boy wants someone older than himself to whom he may go in moods of confidence and yearning. The neglect of this child's want by grown people . . . is a fertile source of suffering.

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

Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

You may say, "I wish to send this ball so as to kill the lion crouching yonder, ready to spring upon me. My wishes are all right, and I hope Providence will direct the ball." Providence won't. You must do it; and if you do not, you are a dead man.

A man without a vote is in this land like a man without a hand.
