Set yourself earnestly to see what you are made to do, and then set yourself earnestly to do it.

Anger is self-immolation.

Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or a realization of our duty and privilege as one of God's children.

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.

Let us give thanks to God upon Thanksgiving Day. Nature is beautiful and fellowmen are dear, and duty is close beside us, and God is over us and in us. We want to trust Him with a fuller trust, and so at last to come to that high life where we shall "be careful for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let our request be made known unto God"; for that, and that alone, is peace.

Heaven does not make holiness, but holiness makes heaven.

No man ever yet thought whether he was preaching well without weakening his sermon.
