Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

A man in earnest finds means or, if he cannot find, creates them.

Life is a fragment, a moment between two eternities.

Life has a higher end, than to be amused

Home - the nursery of the Infinite.

Compassionate 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.

I am a living member of the great family of all souls; and I cannot improve or suffer myself, without diffusing good or evil around me through an ever-enlarging sphere. I belong to this family. I am bound to it by vital bonds.
