The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young, the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung.
From Phillips Brooks
A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.
Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.
Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you will keep it to the end.
The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Happiness is the natural flower of duty.
Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there.
I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.
Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues.
