The whole course of things goes to teach us faith. We need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word. . . . Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which flows into you as life, place yourself in the full center of that flood, then you are without effort impelled to truth, to right, and a perfect contentment.

Be brave enough to do the loving thing.

Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.

Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.

All the thoughts of a turtle are turtle

Thou art to me a delicious torment.

Wouldst thou shut up the avenues of ill, Pay every debt as if God wrote the bill.
