What makes greatness is starting something that lives after you.

The roots of responsibility run out to the ends of the earth and we can no more isolate our consciences from world issues than we can fence off our oyster beds from the tides of the ocean.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness.

The hope of free people in a frightened world is the values which people put ahead of inventions when their backs are to the wall. These values are beauty, truth, goodness and having a faith, all of which are bombproof.

In being realistic we do not always have to be pessimistic. Christ never blinked his eyes at bad things. But he never became so obsessed with human evil that he lost faith in man.

A service of worship is primarily a service to God. When we realize this and act upon it, we make it a service to men.

Hoist the sails of your own spirit to catch the winds of God.
