Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all one thing. It's getting money without giving an equivalent for it.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.
We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
