Whatever we wish to buy, we ought first to consider not only if the thing be fit for us, but if the manufacture of it be a wholesome and happy one; 

Money is, in the use men make of it, the final touchstone of character.

He who receives a good turn should never forget it:  he who does one should never remember it.

To wish to do without other men and to be under obligation to no one, is a sure mark of a mind devoid of feeling.

There is no truly Christian man who keeps an unconverted pocket-book. 

Every love is religious in proportion to its pure intensity; 

We are little men, and we are in a hurry.   God is great, and He is in no hurry.   But if we are to work with the Eternal we must needs learn patience.

And the proper action of this lovingness, a word better than pity, for it implies no superiority, is through patience.

Of all the sad things in this world there is nothing so sad as that – to have seen the good and to have let it go.

Truly has it been said that men only enjoy a feast by forgetting the starving.
