This earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty. - William Mountford

Ownership in the world I have none, but I have an infinite interest in it; for if not my own it is my God's; and so it is mine in a higher than a legal sense. Yes, this is the beauty, this is the whole sublimity, this is the tender delight of life — that it is of God's governing.

Not every hour, nor every day, perhaps, can generous wishes ripen into kind actions; but there is not a moment that cannot be freighted with prayer.

God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us.
