John Lancaster Spalding
As we can not love what is hateful, let us accustom ourselves neither to think nor to speak of disagreeable things and persons.
John Lancaster Spalding
Culture makes the whole world our dwelling place our palace in which we take our ease and find ourselves at one with all things.
John Lancaster Spalding
Worry, whatever its source, weakens, takes away courage, and shortens life.
John Lancaster Spalding
