Good nature is often a mere matter of health.

Many of our troubles are God dragging us, and they would end if we would stand upon our feet and go whither He would have us go.

By religion I mean perfected manhood,--the quickening of the soul by the influence of the Divine Spirit.

The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself. Religion is relative to the individual.

Sorrows are gardeners: they plant flowers along waste places, and teach vines to cover barren heaps.

Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.

We are but a point, a single comma, and God is the literature of eternity.
