Quotes

• “Unselfish and noble acts are the most radiant epochs in the biography of souls.”
• “Amusements are to religion like breezes of air to the flame; gentle ones will fan it, but strong ones will put it out.”
• “How free from every thing like art were the reasonings and language of Christ.”
• “A great man, I take it, is a man so inspired and permeated with the ideas of God and the Christly spirit as to be too magnanimous for vengeance, and too unselfish to seek his own ends.”
• “Every sinful act is another cord woven into that mighty cable of habit, which binds the spirit to the throne of darkness.”
• “The Divine government of the world is like a stream that rolls under us; men are only as bubbles that rise on its surface; some are brighter and larger, and sparkle longer in the sun than others; but all must break; whilst the mighty current rolls on in its wonted majesty!”
