Assertion of truths known and felt, promulgation of truth from the high platform of truth itself, declaration of faith by the mouth of moral conviction--this is the New Testament method, and the true one.
J. G. Holland
The secret of man's success resides in his insight into the moods of people, and his tact in dealing with them.
