“love is profane, since it mortally reaches toward the heaven in ye!”

“Glimpses do ye seem to see of that mortally intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore.”

“Jesus said in His most remarkable sermon ever:"For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?" (Matthew 5:46-47)I make an appeal for us to reach beyond our own contentment, to move out of our own comfort and companion zones, to reach those who may not always be so easy to reach. If we do less, what distinguishes us from the biblical publican?”

“Give no poor fool the pretext to think ye are claiming knowledge of what no mortal knows.”

“Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart”

“Only where love and need are one,And the work is play for mortal stakesIs the deed ever truly doneFor Heaven and the future's sakes”
