Life, Like War, Is A Series Of

But If There Has Been On This Earth No Real, Perfect Human Life, No Love That Never Cooled, No Faith That Never Failed, Which May Shine As A Loadstar Across The Darkness Of Our Experience, A Light To Light Amidst All Convictions Of Our Own Meanness And All Suspicions Of Other's Littleness, Why, We May Have A Religion, But We Have Not A Christianity. For If We Lose Him As A Brother, We Cannot Feel Him As A Saviour.

In The Darkest Hour Through Which A Human Soul Can Pass, Whatever Else Is Doubtful, This At Least Is Certain. If There Be No God And No Future State, Yet Even Then It Is Better To Be Generous Than Selfish, Better To Be Chaste Than Licentious, Better To Be True Than False, Better To Be Brave Than To Be A Coward.

Let A Man Begin In Earnest With "i Ought," And He Will End, By God's Grace, If He Persevere, With "i Will." Let Him Force Himself To Abound In All Small Offices Of Kindliness, Attention, Affectionateness, And All These For God's Sake. By And By He Will Feel Them Become The Habit Of His Soul.

In God's World, For Those Who Are In Earnest, There Is No Failure. No Work Truly Done, No Word Earnestly Spoken, No Sacrifice Freely Made, Was Ever Made In Vain (as Long As It Was Done Out Of Love, Not Personal Glory)

To Believe Is To Be Happy; To Doubt Is To Be Wretched. To Believe Is To Be Strong. Doubt Cramps Energy. Belief Is Power. Only So Far As A Man Believes Strongly, Mightily, Can He Act Cheerfully, Or Do Any Thing That Is Worth The Doing.
