God alone can know how wide are the steps which the soul has to take before it can approach to a community with Him, to the dwelling of the perfect, or to the intercourse and friendship of higher natures. - [Conversion] At the end of life thoughts hitherto impossible come to the collected mind, like good spirits which let themselves down from the shining heights of the past. - [Thought] Be always resolute with the present hour.

Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower. - [Encouragement] Courage and modesty are the most unequivocal of virtues, for they are of a kind that hypocrisy cannot imitate; they too have this quality in common, that they are expressed by the same color. - [Courage] Criticism is our weak point. - [Criticism] Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time. - [Death] Devote each day to the object then in time, and every evening will find something done. - [Present] Difficulties increase the nearer we approach the goal. - [Difficulties] Dispel not, the happy delusions of children. - [Children] Do the duty which lies nearest to thee. - [Duty] Displaying page 2 of 21 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
