For the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all; No palace too great, no cottage too small.

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.

Never fear to bring the sublimest motive to the smallest duty, and the most infinite comfort to the smallest trouble.

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

Joy in one's work is the consummate tool.

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.

We are haunted by an ideal life, and it is because we have within us the beginning and the possibility of it.
