The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.

Think of life as a voyage. The truest liver of the truest life is like a voyager who, as he sails, is not indifferent to all the beauty of the sea around him.

We never become truly spiritual by sitting down and wishing to become so. You must undertake something so great that you cannot accomplish it unaided.

Pray for powers equal to your tasks.

Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely way, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple.

It is good for us to think that no grace or blessing is truly ours till we are aware that God has blessed some one else with it through us.

Get up; repent. Come to God. Get the pattern of your life from Him, and then go about your work and be yourself.
