Serence, and master of yourself, prepare For what may come; and leave the rest to Heaven. John Armstrong

spring struggle fighting
People try to persuade us that the objections against Christianity spring from doubt. That is a complete misunderstanding.

Soren Kierkegaard

spring men secret
Imagine hidden in a simpler exterior a secret receptacle wherein the most precious treasure is deposited - there is a spring which has to be pressed, but the spring is hidden, and the pressure must have a certain strength, so that an accidental pressure would not be sufficient.

Soren Kierkegaard

Thomas B. Macaulay

spring flower men
Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trails its wreath; And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes. The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure; But the least motion which they made, It seemed a thrill of pleasure. The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can That there was pleasure there. If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature's holy plan, Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man? William Wordsworth
