Our growth depends not on how many experiences we devour, but on how many we digest.

When we count on chance in lieu of law and labor, we weaken our healthy attitudes toward work, our fellow men and our God.

The test of our religion is whether it fits us to meet emergencies. A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis.

In all living there is a certain narrowness of application which leads to breadth and power. We have to concent on a thing in order to master it. Then we must be broad enough not to be narrowed by our specialties.

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.

Our love for God is tested by the question of whether we seek Him or His gifts.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
