Heaven and God are best discerned through tears; scarcely perhaps are discerned at all without them. The constant association of prayer with the hour of bereavement and the scenes of death suffice to show this.

Every man's highest, nameless though it be, is his 'living God'.

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

Heaven and God are best discerned through tears; scarcely perhaps are discerned at all without them. The constant association of prayer with the hour of bereavement and the scenes of death suffice to show this.

Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere.

There is no human life so poor and small as not to hold many a divine possibility.

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.
