There Is No Life So Humble That, If It Be True And Genuinely Human And Obedient To God, It May Not Hope To Shed Some Of His Light. There Is No Life So Meager That The Greatest And Wisest Of Us Can Afford To Despise It. We Cannot Know At What Moment It May Flash Forth With The Life Of God.

The Essential Tendency Of Life Is Toward Happiness . . . . Optimism Is The Only True Condition For A Reasonable Man.

Greatness After All, In Spite Of Its Name, Appears To Be Not So Much A Certain Size As A Certain Quality In Human Lives. It May Be Present In Lives Whose Range Is Very Small.
