Endurance is the crowning quality.

There is something magnificent in having a country to love.

There is only one thing better than tradition and that is the original and eternal life out of which all tradition takes its rise.

It is the vain endeavor to make ourselves what we are not that has strewn history with so many broken purposes and lives left in the rough.

Be He nowhere else, God is in all that liberates and lifts, in all that humbles, sweetens, and consoles.

The material of thought re-acts upon the thought itself.

No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him. There is always work, and tools to work with, for those who will, and blessed are the horny hands of toil. The busy world shoves angrily aside the man who stands with arms akimbo until occasion tells him what to do; and he who waits to have his task marked out shall die and leave his errand unfulfilled.
