Repentance must be something more than mere remorse for sins: it comprehends a change of nature befitting heaven.
Lew WallaceAs a rule, there is no surer way to the dislike of men than to behave well where they have behaved badly.
Lew WallaceIt is more beautiful to trust in God. The beautiful in this world is all from his hand, declaring the perfection of taste; he is the author of all form; he clothes the lily, he colours the rose, he distils the dewdrop, he makes the music of nature; in a word, he organized us for this life, and imposed its conditions; and they are such guaranty to me that, trustful as a little child, I leave to him the organization of my Soul, and every arrangement for the life after death. I know he loves me.
