“The whole mystery of temptation is to have sins suggested to us, and to be swept…” — George A. Smith

Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.

Into every soul, however purged and fenced, evil appears to have as much freedom of entrance as God Himself.

If we have a heart for the magnitudes of life, it will not seem vain to believe that God Himself should guard it.

God is stronger than their strength, more loving than their uttermost love, and in so far as they have loved and sacrificed themselves for others, they have obtained the infallible proof, that God too lives and loves and gives Himself away.
