Christianity Helps Us Face The Music Even

O, Do Not Pray For Easy Lives. Pray To Be Stronger Men! Do Not Pray For Tasks Equal To Your Powers. Pray For Powers Equal To Your Tasks! Then The Doing Of Your Work Shall Be No Miracle. But You Shall Be A Miracle. Every Day You Shall Wonder At Yourself, At The Richness Of Life Which Has Come To You By The Grace Of God.

Life Comes Before Literature, As The Material Always Comes Before The Work. The Hills Are Full Of Marble Before The World Blooms With Statues.

Heaven Does Not Make Holiness, But Holiness Makes Heaven.

We Are Haunted By An Ideal Life, And It Is Because We Have Within Us The Beginning And The Possibility Of It.

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.
