Henry Ward Beecher

This world is magnificent for strangers and pilgrims, but miserable for residents.
Henry Ward Beecher
O Lord God, we pray that we may be inspired to nobleness of life in the least things. May we dignify all our daily life. May we set such a sacredness upon every part of our life, that nothing shall be trivial, nothing unimportant, and nothing dull, in the daily round.
Henry Ward Beecher
