  • There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
  • It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
  • A good excercise for the heart is to bend down and help another up.
  • Evil is a fact not to be explained away, but to be accepted and accepted not to be endured, but to be conquered. It is a challenge neither to our reason nor to our patience, but to our courage.
  • Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both.
