Through all God's works there runs a beautiful harmony. The remotest truth in his universe is linked to that which lies nearest the throne. - Edwin Hubbell Chapin

[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!

Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So a man sometimes covers up the entire disk of eternity with a dollar, and quenches transcendent glories with a little shining dust.

Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are. To be is the great thing.
