No One Can Be Great, Or Good,

God's Truth Is Too Sacred To Be Expounded To Superficial Worldliness In Its Transient Fit Of Earnestness.

It Is Not The Situation Which Makes The Man, But The Man Who Makes The Situation.

False Notions Of Liberty Are Strangely Common. People Talk Of It As If It Meant The Liberty Of Doing Whatever One Likes - Whereas The Only Liberty That A Man, Worthy Of The Name Of Man, Ought To Ask For, Is, To Have All Restrictions, Inward And Outward, Removed That Prevent His Doing What He Ought.

By Experience; By A Sense Of Human Frailty; By A Perception Of "the Soul Of Goodness In Things Evil;" By A Cheerful Trust In Human Nature; By A Strong Sense Of God's Love; By Long And Disciplined Realization Of The Atoning Love Of Christ; Only Thus Can We Get A Free, Manly, Large, Princely Spirit Of Forgiveness.

Simpler Manners, Purer Lives; More Self-denial; More Earnest Sympathy With The Classes That Lie Below Us, Nothing Short Of That Can Lay The Foundations Of The Christianity Which Is To Be Hereafter, Deep And Broad.
