“The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.”

“Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.”

“Our whole business therefore in this life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.”

“It is possible, I think, to say that... a Christian agriculture [is] formed upon the understanding that it is sinful for people to misuse or destroy what they did not make. The Creation is a unique, irreplaceable gift, therefore to be used with humility, respect, and skill.”

“Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers.”

“The way to misuse our possessions is to use them as an insurance against the morrow. Anxiety is always directed to the morrow, whereas goods are in the strictest sense meant to be used only for to-day.”
