Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.

The only way to understand these difficult parts of the Bible, or even to approach them with safety, is first to read and obey the easy ones.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.

It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.

You may chisel a boy into shape, as you would a rock, or hammer him into it, if he be of a better kind, as you would a piece of bronze. But you cannot hammer a girl into anything. She grows as a flower does.

It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.
