To Grieve Over Sin Is One Thing,

He Who, With Strong Passions, Remains Chaste--he Who, Keenly Sensitive, With Manly Power Of Indignation In Him, Can Yet Restrain Himself And Forgive--these Are Strong Men, Spiritual Heroes.

A Silent Man Is Easily Reputed Wise. A Man Who Suffers None To See Him In The Common Jostle And Undress Of Life, Easily Gathers Round Him A Mysterious Veil Of Unknown Sanctity, And Men Honor Him For A Saint. The Unknown Is Always Wonderful.

A Happy Home Is The Single Spot Of Rest Which A Man Has Upon This Earth For The Cultivation Of His Noblest Sensibilities.

In The Darkest Hour Through Which A Human Soul Can Pass, Whatever Else Is Doubtful, This At Least Is Certain. If There Be No God And No Future State, Yet Even Then It Is Better To Be Generous Than Selfish, Better To Be Chaste Than Licentious, Better To Be True Than False, Better To Be Brave Than To Be A Coward.

Earth Has Not A Spectacle More Glorious Or More Fair To Show Than This Love Tolerating Intolerance; Charity Covering, As With A Vail, Even The Sin Of The Lack Of Charity.
