How many desolate creatures on the earth have learnt the simple dues of fellowship and social comfort, in a hospital.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
The earth is a great big orphanage for most animals.
Ever since the world began, it has been the belief of mankind that desolate places are the special haunt of supernatural beings.
I always had a desire to know asylum life more thoroughly - a desire to be convinced that the most helpless of God's creatures, the insane, were cared for kindly and properly.
I've spent more time in hospitals than some fellows ever spend in church.
Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
I understand what it's like to go to hospitals and there's no medicine, and the best thing you have to give the patients is compassion.
All human wisdom works and has worries and grief as reward.
Missionaries must not calculate on the least comfort but what they find in one another and their work.
Kindliness and sympathy, fellowship and understanding, are always good, but best when they come from a distant corner of the world.
