A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong . . . . Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right, and a perfect contentment.

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.

We are never without a pilot. When we know not how to steer, and dare not hoist a sail, we can drift. The current knows the way, though we do not. The ship of heaven guides itself, and will not accept a wooden rudder.

Do the thing and you will have the power.

As long as any man exists, there is some need of him.

Body cannot teach wisdom; God only.

A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.
