The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory.

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
