Christianity knows no truth which is not the child of love and the parent of duty.

How silently, how silently The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him still, The dear Christ enters in.

The place where two friends first met is sacred to them all through their friendship, all the more sacred as their friendship deepens and grows old.

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still.

A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

Feed on Christ, and then go and live your life, and it is Christ in you that lives your life, that helps the poor, that tells the truth, that fights the battle, and that wins the crown.

Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
