Society does not exist for itself, but for the individual; and man goes into it, not to lose, but to find himself.
Phillips BrooksIf man is man and God is God, to live without prayer is not merely an awful thing: it is an infinitely foolish thing.
Phillips BrooksFor the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all; No palace too great, no cottage too small.
Phillips BrooksSad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is the child of God.
