No One Can Be Great,

To Grieve Over Sin Is One Thing, To Repent Is Another.

To Turn Water Into Wine, And What Is Common Into What Is Holy, Is Indeed The Glory Of Christianity.

That Prayer Which Does Not Succeed In Moderating Our Wishes--in Changing The Passionate Desire Into Still Submission, The Anxious, Tumultuous Expectation Into Silent Surrender--is No True Prayer, And Proves That We Have Not The Spirit Of True Prayer.

Humility Is That Simple, Inner Life Of Real Greatness, Which Is Indifferent To Magnificence, And, Surrounded By It All, Lives Far Away In The Distant Country Of A Father's Home, With The Cross Borne Silently And Self-sacrificingly In The Heart Of Hearts.

Defeat In Doing Right Is Nevertheless Victory.
