No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being the better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness (Wo Quotes)
The man who goes through life with an uncertain doctrine not knowing what he believes, what a poor, powerless creature he is! He goes around through the world as a man goes down through the street with a poor, wounded arm, forever dodging people be meets on the street for fear they may touch him (Wo Quotes)
O risen Christ! O Easter flower! How dear thy grace has grown! From East to west, with loving power, make all the world thine own (Wo Quotes)
