EVERY man and every woman, in their self-training and self-culture, should study the art of giving up with a good grace.

A disappointment, a contradiction, a harsh word, an annoyance, a wrong received and endured as in His Presence, is worth more than a long prayer;

…the truest and surest way in which we can serve our fellowmen is, not so much to do any thing for them, but to be the very truest, purest, noblest beings we know how.

ALWAYS the important question is, and ultimately we must realise that it is, not what we do or what we know, but what we are.

…leaving the future always in God’s hands, sure that He can care for it better than we.  Blessed trust!

IF we measure our work for God by our own ability to do it, we must not be surprised if God takes us at our word, and the results are small;

VERY slight deeds and words may have a sacramental efficacy, if we can cast our self-love behind us in order to do and say them.

Do not fear that you are unworthy to serve Him, for serving Him in any way is the sure means to make you more worthy.

An ignorance of means may minister to greatness, but an ignorance of aims makes it impossible to be great at all.
