The power of free will is developed and confirmed by increasing the number of worthy motives which influence conduct. - John Lancaster Spalding

True readers … are ready to go through a whole volume, if there be but hope of finding in it a single genuine thought or the mere suggestion even of a truth which has some fresh application to life.

As the visit of one we love makes the whole day pleasant, so is it illumined and made fair by a brave and beautiful thought.

The strong man is he who knows how and is able to become and be himself; the magnanimous man is he who, being strong, knows how and is able to issue forth from himself, as from a fortress, to guide, protect, encourage, and save others.
