 An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.

 At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.

 Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth

 Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.

 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity

 Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair

 Neutral men are the devil's allies.

 Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury

 No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.

 Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So it is with people who sometimes cover up the entire disc of eternity with a dollar, and so quench transcendent glories with a little shining dust.

 Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy

 Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle

 Skepticism has never founded empires, established principals, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.

 The best men are not those who have waited for chances but who have taken them; besieged the chance; conquered the chance; and made chance the servitor.

 The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool
