“The holiness of love inspired ordinary men and women to act like angels. It lifted them on wings closer to God.”

“The mother-women seemed to prevail that summer at Grand Isle. It was easy to know them, fluttering about with extended, protecting wings when any harm, real or imaginary, threatened their precious brood. They were women who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels.”

“God must have loved the birds, or he would not have given them wings that he gave to his angels.”

“The divine love of God turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service.”

“I yield to your wishes. It is the privilege of the women whom we love more than they love us to make the men who love them ignore the ordinary rules of common-sense.”

“Angel, men die for honor, riches and glory…saints and women die for love.”
