“When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something.”

“Don't trust children with edge tools. Don't trust man, great God, with more power than he has until he has learned to use that little better. What a hell we should make of the world if we could do what we would!”

“A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best.”

“Is not prayer a study of truth, a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.”

“The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship”

“He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind, he has descended into the secrets of all minds.”

“He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.”
