What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.

Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.

Of all escape mechanisms, death is the most efficient.

The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
