Yet, in the maddening maze of things, And tossed by storm and flood, To one fixed trust my spirit clings; I know that God is good!

the joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you

Round the boles of the pine-wood the ground-laurel creeps, Unkissed of the sunshine, unbaptized of showers, With buds scarcely swelled, which should burst into flowers!

Bathsheba! to whom none ever said scat- No worthier cat Ever sat on a mat, Or caught a rat. Requiescat!

Children have neither past nor future - they rejoice in the present.

A true life is at once interpreter and proof of the gospel.

I'll lift you and you lift me, and we'll both ascend together.
