American theologian

To rule one's anger is well; to prevent it is still better.
      - [Anger]

We never reach our ideals, whether of mental or moral improvement, but the thought of them shows us our deficiencies, and spurs us on to higher and better things.
      - [Ideals]

We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.
      - [Death]

Whatever our place allotted to us by Providence that for us is the post of honor and duty. God estimates us, not by the position we are in, but by the way in which we fill it.
      - [Duty]

Words are both better and worse than thoughts; they express them, and add to them; they give them power for good or evil; they start them on an endless flight, for instruction and comfort and blessing, or for injury and sorrow and ruin.
      - [Words]
