 Humanity is the sin of God. |
| Truth never yet fell dead in the streets; it has such affinity with the soul of man, the seed however broadcast will catch somewhere and produce its hundredfold. |
| Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock. |
| The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice, poor and naked and miserable. |
| As society advances the standard of poverty rises. |
| No man is so great as mankind. |
| It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a single thing; his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business. |
| Politics is the science of urgencies. |
| Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization, whence light and heat radiated out into the dark. |
| Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect. |
| The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most. |
| Wealth and want equally harden the human heart. |
| Outward judgment often fails, inward judgment never. |
| Remorse is the pain of sin. |
| Let others laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time and eternity to rejoice in. |
