An earnest purpose finds time, or makes it. It seizes on spare moments, and turns fragments to golden account.
William Ellery ChanningTo extinguish the free will is to strike the conscience with death, for both have but one and the same life.
William Ellery ChanningCompassionate Saviour! We welcome Thee to our world, We welcome Thee to our hearts. We bless Thee for the Divine goodness Thou hast brought from heaven; for the souls Thou hast warmed with love to man, and lifted up in love to God; for the efforts of divine philanthropy which Thou hast inspired; and for that hope of a pure celestial life, through which Thy disciples triumph over death.
William Ellery Channing
