Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, 'Christ is risen,' but 'I shall rise.'
From Phillips Brooks
Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours.
It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.
No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.
Set yourself earnestly to see what you are made to do, and then set yourself earnestly to do it.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men!
Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.
The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.
Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
