For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer In the earthen vessel, holding treasure, But the main thing is, does it hold good measure Heaven soon sets right all other matters!
Robert Browning
Image
I say, the acknowledgment of God in ChristAccepted by thy reason, solves for theeAll questions in the earth and out of it,And has so far advanced thee to be wise.
Robert Browning
Image
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning
Image
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
Image
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so life's business being just the terrible choice.

He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
