Do not be afraid of defeat. You are never so near victory as when you are defeated in a good cause.

But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.

No man ever learned to love God with all his heart, and his neighbour as himself, in a day.

A reputation for good judgment, for fair dealing, for truth, and for rectitude, is itself a fortune.

Love is the world's river of life

God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.

The thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.
