When you discover you've been leading only half a life, the other half is going to haunt you until you develop it.

Stand up, on this Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been a better time, or a better place to live in.

Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

The faith which you keep must be a faith that demands obedience, and you can keep it only by obeying it.

O, do not pray for easy lives.

Greatness after all, in spite of its name, appears to be not so much a certain size as a certain quality in human lives. It may be present in lives whose range is very small.

If man is man and God is God, to live without prayer is not merely an awful thing: it is an infinitely foolish thing.
