, and yet to be full of
energy and hope of higher things,--this comes to
him whose life aims at the absolute.
If you cannot argue, live! Be true and pure and
lofty and devout, and He who ever seeks the souls
of men shall find His way to some of them through
you.
When a man means to be honest solely because
honesty is right, and not because honesty is
profitable, there is a perpetual and beautiful
tendency of his honesty to refine and deepen
itself.
Dependence upon God makes the independence of men
in which are liberty and courage.

There is a type of universal human life in
harmony with the best life of all the ages, in
tune with the sublimest and finest spiritual
music of the universe, which you can live in your
parlor and your shop.
No beauty is really beautiful which in any way
hinders righteousness or weakens spiritual life.
To every heart's experience comes its time of
desert-journeyings.... It eats its manna in the
wilderness.
You can know nothing which you do not reverence.
You can see nothing before which you do not veil
your eyes.
Repentance for safety, even for cleanness, is not
complete. The true motive is that God may be
glorified in us.
