Сторінка 12 - For I reckon, that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
Сторінка 60 - We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most — feels the noblest — acts the best.
Сторінка 34 - To scorn the senses' sway, While still to thee I tend ; In all I do, be thou the way, — In all, be thou the end.
Сторінка 31 - COURAGE, brother, do not stumble, ^-' Though thy path be dark as night ; There's a star to guide the humble ; — " Trust in God and do the right.
