“The Arrow and the SongI shot an arrow into the air,It fell to earth, I knew not where;For, so swiftly it flew, the sightCould not follow it in its flight.I breathed a song into the air,It fell to earth, I knew not where;For who has sight so keen and strong,That it can follow the flight of song?Long, long afterward, in an oakI found the arrow, still unbroke;And the song, from beginning to end,I found again in the heart of a friend.”

“Let us labor for an inward stillness--An inward stillness and an inward healing.That perfect silence where the lips and heartAre still, and we no longer entertainOur own imperfect thoughts and vain opinions,But God alone speaks to us and we waitIn singleness of heart that we may knowHis will, and in the silence of our spirits,That we may do His will and do that only”

“The heart, like the mind, has a memory. And in it are kept the most precious keepsakes.”

“He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.”

“Believe me, every man has his secret sorrows, which the world knows not; and oftimes we call a man cold when he is only sad.”

“Every heart has its secret sorrows which the world knows not, and oftentimes we call a man cold, when he is only sad.”
