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

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

Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues.

Only the soul that with an overwhelming impulse and a perfect trust gives itself up forever to the life of other men, finds the delight and peace which such complete self-surrender has to give.

Happiness is the natural flower of duty.

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

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