Youth should be a savings-bank. - Sophie Swetchine

My experience is that Christianity dispels more mystery than it involves. With Christianity, it is twilight in the world; without it, night. Christianity does not finish the statue,—that is heaven's work; but it "rough-hews" all things,—truth, the mind, the soul.

Strength alone knows conflict. Weakness is below even defeat, and is born vanquished.

What is resignation? It is putting God between one's self and one's grief.
