Quotes
- “O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth!And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.”
- “For greatness after all, in spite of its name, appears to be not so much a certain size as a certain quality in human lives. It may be present in lives whose range is very small.”
- “O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.”
- “Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues.”
- “The absence of sentimentalism in Christ's relations with men is what makes His tenderness so exquisitely touching.”
- “Never be afraid to bring the transcendent mysteries of our faith, Christ's life and death and resurrection, to the help of the humblest and commonest of human wants.”
