Character and Conduct – 20 January – Influence of Great Men
My sole fear was the fear of doing an unrighteous or unholy thing.
My sole fear was the fear of doing an unrighteous or unholy thing.
GLIMPSES into the inner regions of a great soul do one good.
IF I have faltered more or less in my great task of happiness…
…if aught be worse than failure from over-stress of a life’s prime purpose, it is to sit down content with a little success.
THIS is peace to conquer love of self and lust of life,
THE Past is something, but the Present more; Will It not, too, be past
IF it were – if it might be – if it could be – if it had been. One portion of mankind go through life always regretting, always whining, always imagining.
A CONSIDERATION of petty circumstances is the tomb of great things.
OF nothing can we be more sure than this: that, if we cannot sanctify our present lot, we could sanctify no other.
NEVER should we forget the close connection between character and service, between inward nobleness and outward philanthropy.
