Let all the ends thou aimst at be thy Country’s, thy God’s and Truth’s. Be noble! and the nobleness that lies in other men sleeping but never dead shall rise in majesty to meet thine own.
-J.R. Lowell.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.
-Galatians 6:7,8.
Study history and learn one thing; he who thinks he can cheat a moral God in a moral universe is a moral imbecile. It simply cannot be done. Evil carries the seeds of its own destruction within it. The universe is not built for the success of lies. They break themselves upon the moral facts of the universe. The Lord reigneth – whether that reign is acknowledged or not. Every wrong breaks itself upon the fact of God.
-E.S. Jones.
It makes a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.
-James F. Clark.
To live is to meet life eager and unafraid – to refuse none of itas challenges, and to evade none of tis responsibilities; but to go forth daily with an adventurous heart to encounter its risks, overcome its difficulties, and seize its opportunities with both hands.
-John Oldham.
Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
-H.W. Longfellow.
Live of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
