Somehow I am necessary for His purposes, as necessary in my place as an Archangel in his.

A great memory does not make a mind, any more than a dictionary is a piece of literature.

God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another, I have my mission ... He has not created me for naught ... If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.

You must make up your mind to the prospect of sustaining a certain measure of pain and trouble in you'r passage through life.

All that is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful, all that is beneficent, be it great or small, be it perfect or fragmentary, natural as well as supernatural, moral as well as material, comes from God.

How many writers are there... who, breaking up their subject into details, destroy its life, and defraud us of the whole by their anxiety about the parts.

Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it.
