Poor humanity!--so dependent, so insignificant, and yet so great. - [Humanity] Prayer has a right to the word "ineffable." It is an hour of outpourings which words cannot express,--of that interior speech which we do not articulate, even when we employ it. - [Prayer] "Prayer," says St. Jerome, "is a groan." Ah! our groans are prayers as well. The very cry of distress is an involuntary appeal to that invisible Power whose aid the soul invokes. - [Prayer] Pride dries the tears of anger and vexation; humility, those of grief. The one is indignant that we should suffer; the other calms us by the reminder that we deserve nothing else. - [Tears] Providence has hidden a charm in difficult undertakings which is appreciated only by those who dare to grapple with them. - [Enterprise] Real sorrow is almost as difficult to discover as real poverty. An instinctive delicacy hides the rays of the one and the wounds of the other. - [Sorrow] Repentance is accepted remorse. - [Repentance] Resignation is, to some extent, spoiled for me by the fact that it is so entirely conformable to the laws of common-sense. I should like just a little more of the supernatural in the practice of my favorite virtue. - [Resignation] Respect is a serious thing in him who feels it, and the height of honor for him who inspires the feeling. - [Respect] Silence is like nightfall; objects are lost in it insensibly. - [Silence] Strength alone knows conflict; weakness is below even defeat, and is born vanquished. - [Strength] Suspicion has its dupes, as well as credulity. - [Suspicion] The beings who appear cold, but are only timid, adore where they dare to love. - [Love] The best of lessons, for a good many people, would be to listen at a keyhole. It is a pity for such that the practice is dishonorable. - [Conceit] The chains which cramp us most are those which weigh on us least. - [Trifles] The fact that God has prohibited despair gives misfortune the right to hope all things, and leaves hope free to dare all things. - [Despair] The heart has always the pardoning power. - [Pardon] The ideal of friendship is to feel as one while remaining two. - [Friendship] The injustice of men subserves the justice of God, and often His mercy. - [Injustice : Justice] The inventory of my faith for this lower world is soon made out. I believe in Him who made it. - [Faith] The law of common sense. - [Resignation] The mind wears the colors of the soul, as a valet those of his master. - [Mind] The most dangerous of all flattery is the inferiority of those about us. - [Flattery] The only true method of action in this world is to be in it, but not of it. - [Action] The root of sanctity is sanity. A man must be healthy before he can be holy. We bathe first, and then perfume. - [Health] Displaying page 3 of 5 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5
