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.

Devotion is like the candle which Michael Angelo used to take in his pasteboard cap, so as not to throw his shadow upon the work in which he was engaged.

The man, who has begun to live more seriously within, begins to live more simply without.

He who thinks that he is being released from the work, and not set free in order that he may accomplish that work, mistakes the Christ from whom the freedom comes, mistakes the condition into which his soul is invited.

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

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

Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.
