Phillips Brooks

Phillips Brooks
It is good for us to think that no grace or blessing is truly ours till we are aware that God has blessed some one else with it through us.
Phillips Brooks
The essential tendency of life is toward happiness . . . . Optimism is the only true condition for a reasonable man.
Phillips Brooks
To whatever world He carries our souls when they shall pass out of these imprisoning bodies, in those worlds these souls of ours shall find themselves part of the same great temple for it belongs not to this earth alone.
