The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

Faith is a most precious commodity, without which we should be very badly off.

It is not... That some people do not know what to do with truth when it is offered to them, But the tragic fate is to reach, after patient search, a condition of mind-blindness, in which. The truth is not recognized, though it stares you in the face.

Start at once a bedside library and spend the last half hour of the day in communion with the saints of humanity.

Let each hour of the day have its allotted duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise.

Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition.
