Growth is the only evidence of life.

• The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
• Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, But rather that it shall never have a beginning.
• To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living.
• The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
• In this world no one rules by love if you are but amiable, you are no hero to be powerful, you must be strong, and to have dominion you must have a genius for organizing.
• Growth is the only evidence of life.
