Greatness is not so much a certain size as a certain quality in your life.

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except that which lies outside the will of God.

Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.

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.

Character cannot be made except by a steady, long-continued process.

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.
