rouble creates a capacity to handle it. I never weary of great churches. It is my favourite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral. A great many open minds should be closed for repairs. You never say a word of yourself, dear Lady Grey. You have that dreadful sin of anti-egotism. Try first thyself, and after call in God, For to the worker God himself lends aid. I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back. Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness. Custom, that unwritten law, By which the people keep even kings in awe. Sometimes it is more important to discover what one cannot do, than what one can. We learn from experience. A man never wakes up his second baby just to see it smile. The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else. Christian life consists of faith and charity. With high hope for the future, no prediction is ventured. To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it. If you talk to God, you are praying; if God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. All glory comes from daring to begin. You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren. The end of man is action. The dreadful dead of dark midnight. An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness.
