It is not in the nature of true greatness to be exclusive and arrogant.

Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.

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

The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. All great developments complete themselves in the world and modestly wait in silence, praising themselves never, and announcing themselves not at all. We must be sensitive, and sensible, if we would see the beginnings and endings of great things. That is our part.

To be a Christian is to obey Christ no matter how you feel.

I used to think the Lord's Prayer was a short prayer; but as I live longer, and see more of life, I begin to believe there is no such thing as getting through it. If a man, in praying that prayer, were to be stopped by every word until he had thoroughly prayed it, it would take him a lifetime.
