Additional quotes by Richard Chenevix Trench

It was Lazarus faith, not his poverty, which brought him into Abraham's bosom.

As shadows attend substances, so words follow upon things.

Thou cam'st not to thy place by accident,
It is the very place God meant for thee;
And should'st thou there small room for action see,
Do not for this give room for discontent.
