Conscience in the soul is the root of all true courage. If a man would be brave, let him learn to obey his conscience.

It is no natural for a man to pray that no theory can prevent him from doing it.

Progress, in the sense of acquisition, is something; but progress in the sense of being, is a great deal more. To grow higher, deeper, wider, as the years go on; to conquer difficulties, and acquire more and more power; to feel all one's faculties unfolding, and truth descending into the soul,--this makes life worth living.

He who believes in goodness has the essence of all faith. He is a man of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrows.

In the spirit of faith let us begin each day, and we shall be sure to " redeem the time " which it brings to us, by changing it into something definite and eternal. There is a deep meaning in this phrase of the apostle, to redeem time. We redeem time, and do not merely use it. We transform it into eternity by living it aright.

One of the best things in the gospel of Jesus is the stress it lays on small things. It ascribes more value to quality than to quantity; it teaches that God does not ask how much we do, but how we do it.

We are either progressing or retrograding all the while; there is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.
