Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting - a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
The god of victory is said to be one-handed, but peace gives victory on both sides.
No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
A man is a god in ruins.
Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful; every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.
God never jests with us, and will not compromise the end of nature, by permitting any inconsequence in its procession.
There is no God dare wrong a worm.
To Be is to live with God.
Calmness is always godlike.
If we meet no gods, it is because we harbor none.
For beauty is God's handwriting...A nd, thank God for it as a cup of His blessing.
The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.
