There is no well-doing, no Godlike doing, that is not patient doing.

That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slow, endures.

The secret of man's success resides in his insight into the moods of people, and his tact in dealing with them.

God give us men. The time demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands.

What do you think God gave you more wealth than is requisite to satisfy your rational wants for, when you look around and see how many are in absolute need of that which you do not need? Can you not take the hint?

In my judgment, a great mistake has been made by well meaning and zealous men, through treating error and infidelity with altogether too much respect.

We often wonder that certain men and women are left by God to the commission of sins that shock us. We wonder how, under the temptation of a single hour, they fall from the very heights of virtue and of honor into sin and shame. The fact is that there are no such falls as these, or there are next to none. These men and women are those who have dallied with temptation--have exposed themselves to the influence of it, and have been weakened and corrupted by it.
