Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, "Christ is risen," but "I shall rise."

Character cannot be made except by a steady, long-continued process.

It is God's world still. It has been given to man not absolutely, but in trust, that man may work out in it the will of God; given-may we not say?-just as a father gives a child a corner of his great garden, and says, "There, that is yours; now cultivate it."

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

Only the soul that with an overwhelming impulse and a perfect trust gives itself up forever to the life of other men, finds the delight and peace which such complete self-surrender has to give.

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

Never fear to bring the sublimest motive to the smallest duty, and the most infinite comfort to the smallest trouble.
