Blessed be God, I not only begin praying when I kneel down, but I do not leave off praying when I rise up.
Thomas AdamsDeath is as near to the young as to the old; here is all the difference: death stands behind the young man's back, before the old man's face.
Thomas AdamsPlan the town, if you like; but in doing it do not forget that you have got to spread the people. Make wider roads, but do not narrow the tenements behind. Dignify the city by all means, but not at the expense of the health of the home and the family life and the comfort of the average workman and citizen.
