Endurance is a much better test of character than any single act of heroism, however noble.

We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.

Endurance is a much better test of character than any single act of heroism, however noble.

There can be no merit in believing something which you can neither explain nor understand.

A kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
