The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.

It would be a lowly art that allowed itself to be understood all at once.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred...unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

The Bible grows more beautiful, as we grow in our understanding of it.

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is the intermixing of different genres.

Do the duty which lies nearest to thee.

We learn to treasure what is above this earth; we long for revelation, which nowhere burns more purely and more beautifully than in the New Testament.
