Like some proud river, widening toward the sea; Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity. - [Death] How wonderfully beautiful is the delineation of the characters of the three patriarchs in Genesis!

He cannot stop at the beast. - [Progress] If you are not a thinking man, to what purpose are you a man at all? - [Thought] If you wish to assured of the truth of Christianity, try it. Believe, and if thy belief be right, that insight which gradually transmutes faith into knowledge will be the reward of thy belief. - [Belief] In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly. - [Fear : Folly : Politics] In Shakespeare one sentence begets the next naturally; the meaning is all inwoven. He goes on kindling like a meteor through the dark atmosphere. - [Shakespeare] In what way, or by what manner of working, God changes a soul from evil to good, how He impregnates the barren rock--the priceless gems and gold--is to the human mind an impenetrable mystery, in all cases alike. - [Conversion] Displaying page 3 of 11 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
