It is fine to stand upon some lofty mountain thought, and feel the spirit stretch into a view.
Man is a military animal, glories in gunpowder, and loves parade.
Life is as serious a thing as death.
Let us think less of men and more of God.
We love and live in power; it is the spirit's end. Mind must subdue; to conquer is its life.
When pride thaws, look for floods.
