Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence, or learning.

Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel's song which had lost its way and come on earth. It seems as if they could almost do what in reality God alone can do -- soften the hard and angry hearts of human beings.

I worship thee, sweet will of God!
And all thy ways adore;
To every day I live, I seem
To love thee more and more.

The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold?

The whole function is expressed in a word, it is simply this -- the child at his father's knee, his words stumbling over each other from very earnestness, and his wistful face pleading better than his hardly intelligible prayer.

The sea, unmated creature, tired and lone,
Makes on its desolate sands eternal moan.

Many a friendship -- long, loyal, and self-sacrificing -- rested at first upon no thicker a foundation than a kind word.

Remember that if the opportunities for great deeds should never come, the opportunities for good deeds are renewed day by day. The thing for us to long for is the goodness, not the glory.

Ride on, ride on, triumphantly,
Thou glorious will, ride on!

Small things are best;
Grief and unrest
To rank and wealth are given;
But little things
On little wings
Bear little souls to heaven.

I know not what it is to doubt,
My heart is ever gay.

Life is one long joy, because the will of God is always being done in it, and the glory of God always being got from it.

My God, how wonderful Thou art!
Thy Majesty how bright!

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea.

We all go to our graves unknown, worlds of unsuspected greatness.
