An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
From Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.
A true man never frets about his place in the world, but just slides into it by the gravitation of his nature, and swings there as easily as a star.
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.
Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies.
Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle.
Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
This is the essential evil of vice, that it debases man.
