To understand at all what life means, one must begin with Christian belief. And I think knowledge may be sorrow with a man unless he loves. - William Mountford

Yes, I live in God, and shall eternally. It is His hand upholds me now; and death will be but an uplifting of me into His bosom.

Only let us love God, and then nature will compass us about like a cloud of Divine witnesses; and all influences from the earth, and things on the earth, will be ministers of God to do us good. Only let there be God within us, and then every thing outside us will become a godlike help.

All noblest things are religious,— not temples and martyrdoms only, but the best books, pictures, poetry, statues, and music.
