Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.

If you have accomplished all that you planned for yourself, you have not planned enough.

It seems as if, for every dragon head that is lopped off, two more terrible appear. Seems so. But in truth, Life is gaining all the while. Brute force, such power as there seems to be in things, cannot stand against ideas which are eternal.

Thrones, dominations, principalities know now with a terrible certainty that mere force of arms has no power which compares with that living word of the crucified Nazarene, that bears with it Eternal Life, and directs the duty of a world of men whom he can lead, but who bend no knee to power.

Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.

Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.
