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.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.

A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.

The great Easter truth is not that we are to live newly after death - that is not the great thing - but that...we are to, and may, live nobly now because we are to live forever.

It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.

O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.

Pray for and work for fullness of life above every thing; full red blood in the body; full honesty and truth in the mind; and the fullness of a grateful love for the Saviour in your heart.
