The Divine Wisdom Has Given Us Prayer, Not As A Means Whereby To Obtain The Good Things Of Earth, But As A Means Whereby We Learn To Do Without Them; Not As A Means Whereby We Escape Evil, But As A Means Whereby We Become Strong To Meet It.

Instruction Ends In The Schoolroom, But Education Ends Only With Life. A Child Is Given To The Universe To Be Educated.

It Is A Law Of Our Humanity, That Man Must Know Both Good And Evil; He Must Know Good Through Evil. There Never Was A Principle But What Triumphed Through Much Evil; No Man Ever Progressed To Greatness And Goodness But Through Great Mistakes.

However Dark And Profitless, However Painful And Weary, Existence May Have Become, Life Is Not Done, And Our Christian Character Is Not Won, So Long As God Has Anything Left For Us To Suffer, Or Anything Left For Us To Do.

As The Tree Is Fertilized By Its Own Broken Branches And Fallen Leaves, And Grows Out Of Its Own Decay, So Men And Nations Are Bettered And Improved By Trial, And Refined Out Of Broken Hopes And Blighted Expectations.

There Is A Past Which Is Gone Forever, But There Is A Future Which Is Still Our Own.
