Those who help a child help humanity with an immediateness which no other help given to human creature in any other stage of human life can possibly give again.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, but taking hold of God's willingness.

O, do not pray for easy lives.

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.

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.

As you emphasize your life, you must localize and define it... you cannot do everything.

To whatever world He carries our souls when they shall pass out of these imprisoning bodies, in those worlds these souls of ours shall find themselves part of the same great temple; for it belongs not to this earth alone.
