Let us beware of losing our enthusiasms. Let us ever glory in something, and strive to retain our admiration for all that would ennoble, and our interest in all that would enrich and beautify our life.

There is no life so humble that, if it be true and genuinely human and obedient to God, it may not hope to shed some of His light. There is no life so meager that the greatest and wisest of us can afford to despise it. We cannot know at what moment it may flash forth with the life of God.

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.

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings.

It is almost as presumptuous to think you can do nothing as to think you can do everything.

The man, who has begun to live more seriously within, begins to live more simply without.

The more man becomes irradiated with Divinity, the more, not the less, truly he is man.
