Those who help a child help humanity with an immediateness which no other help given to human creature in any other stage of human life can possibly give again.
Phillips Brooks
Image
There is no life so humble that, if it be true and genuinely human and obedient to God, it may not hope to shed some of His light. There is no life so meager that the greatest and wisest of us can afford to despise it. We cannot know at what moment it may flash forth with the life of God.
Phillips Brooks
Image
Everywhere the flower of obedience is intelligence. Obey a man with cordial loyalty and you will understand him.
Phillips Brooks
Image
Only the soul that with an overwhelming impulse and a perfect trust gives itself up forever to the life of other men, finds the delight and peace which such complete self-surrender has to give.
Phillips Brooks
Image
