The Choicest Thing This World Has For

God Be Thanked That There Are Some In The World To Whose Hearts The Barnacles Will Not Cling.

I Know Of But One Garment Which The Fashionable Social Life Of This Country Borrows Of Christianity; It Is That Ample Garment Of Charity Which Covers A Multitude Of Sins--particularly Fashionable Sins.

I Have Learned That To Do One's Next Duty Is To Take A Step Toward All That Is Worth Possessing.

The Idle Man Stands Outside Of God's Plan, Outside Of The Ordained Scheme Of Things; And The Truest Self-respect, The Noblest Independence, And The Most Genuine Dignity, Are Not To Be Found There.

This World Of Sense, Built By The Imagination--how Fair And Foul It Is! Like A Fairy Island In The Sea Of Life, It Smiles In Sunlight And Sleeps In Green, Known Of The World Not By Communion Of Knowledge, But By Personal, Secret Discovery!
