Nathaniel Hawthorne

There is so much wretchedness in the world, that we may safely take the word of any mortal professing to need our assistance; and, even should we be deceived, still the good to ourselves resulting from a kind act is worth more than the trifle by which we purchase it.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

Abraham Kyper

“ No single piece of our mental world is to be
hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is
not a square inch in the whole domain of our human
existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all,
does not cry: ‘Mine!’”
