All beneficent and creative power gathers itself together in silence, ere it issues out in might.

All that is noble in the world's past history, and especially the minds of the great and good, are, in like manner, never lost.

There is no room in the universe for the least contempt or pride; but only for a gentle and a reverent heart.

This it is that gives a majesty so pure and touching to the historic figure of Christ; self-abandonment to God, uttermost surrender, without reserve or stipulation, to the guidance of the Holy Spirit from the Soul of souls; pause in no darkness; hesitation in no perplexity, recoil in no extremity of anguish, but a gentle unfaltering hold of the invisible Hand, of the Only Holy and All Good--these are the features that have made Jesus of Nazareth the dearest and most sacred image to the heart of so many ages.

Religion is the belief in an ever-living God, that is, in a Divine Mind and Will ruling the Universe and holding moral relations with mankind.

The health of a community is an almost unfailing index of its morals.

All beneficent and creative power gathers itself together in silence, ere it issues out in might.
