CELIA BURLEIGH
American reformer (1825 - 1875)
|
The world cannot afford to damn its sinners, nor will it be saved
without their help. Humanity is one, and not till Lazarus is
cured of his sores will Dives be safe. Whoever will thrust
Magdalen into the pit will find that he has dropped with her into
the flames the key that should have opened heaven for him, and
assuredly shall he remain outside until she, her purification
completed, shall take pity on him and bring it thence.
- [Retribution]
When God will educate a man, He compels him to learn bitter
lessons. He sends him to school to the Necessities rather than
to the Graces, that by knowing all suffering he may know also the
eternal consolations.
- [Necessity]
