Quote

If there be anything that can render the soul calm, dissipate its scruples and dispel its fears, sweeten its sufferings by the anointing of love, impart strength to all its actions, and spread abroad the joy of the Holy Spirit in its countenance and words, it is this simple and childlike repose in the arms of God.

The greatest thing anyone can do for God and man is pray. It is not the only thing but it is the chief thing. The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer not those who can explain about prayer but I mean those people who take time and pray.

Shoes divide men into three classes. Some men wear their father's shoes. They make no decisions of their own. Some are unthinkingly shod by the crowd. The strong man is his own cobbler. He insists on making his own choices. He walks in his own shoes.
