The truest help we can render an afflicted man is not to take his burden from him, but to call out his best energy, that he may be able to bear the burden.

Sad 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.

The faith which you keep must be a faith that demands obedience, and you can keep it only by obeying it.

The glory of the star, the glory of the sun - we must not lose either in the other. We must not be so full of the hope of heaven that we cannot do our work on the earth; we must not be so lost in the work of the earth that we shall not be inspired by the hope of heaven.

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

There is a necessary limit to our achievement, but none to our attempt.

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.
