Heaven Does Not Make Holiness, But Holiness

Devotion Is Like The Candle Which Michael Angelo Used To Take In His Pasteboard Cap, So As Not To Throw His Shadow Upon The Work In Which He Was Engaged.

Faith Says Not, 'i See That It Is Good For Me, So God Must Have Sent It,' But, 'god Sent It, And So It Must Be Good For Me.' Faith, Walking In The Dark With God, Only Prays Him To Clasp Its Hand More Closely.

It Never Frightened A Puritan When You Bade Him Stand Still And Listen To The Speech Of God. His Closet And His Church Were Full Of The Reverberations Of The Awful, Gracious, Beautiful Voice For Which He Listened.

Be Such A Man, And Live Such A Life, That If Every Man Were Such As You, And Every Life A Life Like Yours, This Earth Would Be God's Paradise.

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.
