“Love is the opener as well as closer of eyes.” — George MacDonald

It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.

Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.

The first thing a kindness deserves is acceptance, the second, transmission.

To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.
