"Spill not the morning (the quintessence of the day!) in recreations for sleep is a recreation. Add not therefore sauce to sauce. ... Pastime like wine is poison in the morning. It is then good husbandry to sow the head which hath lain fallow all night with some serious work."

"Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day. That is, be systematically ascetic or heroic in little unnecessary points, do every day or two something for no other reason than that you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test. So with the man who has daily inured himself to habits of concentrated attention, energetic volition, and self-denial in unnecessary things. He will stand like a tower when everything rocks around him, and when his softer fellow-mortals are winnowed like chaff in the blast."

"My prayers my God flow from what I am not I think Thy answers make me what I am."
Spiritual
"The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom."
Wisdom
"It is a hard thing for a rich man to grow poor; but it is an awful thing for him to grow dishonest, and some kinds of speculation lead a man deep into dishonesty before he thinks what he is about. Poverty will not make a man worthless-he may be of worth a great deal more when he is poor than he was when he was rich; but dishonesty goes very far indeed to make a man of no value-a thing to be thrown out in the dust-hole of the creation, like a bit of broken basin, or dirty rag."
Morality
"Punishment had not been spared--with best results in patience and purification."
Discipline
"I should not be surprised," said Mr. Graham, "that the day should come when men will refuse to believe in God simply on the ground of the apparent injustice of things. They would argue that there might be either an omnipotent being who did not care, or a good being who could not help, but that there could not be a being both all good and omnipotent or else he would never have suffered things to be as they are."

"The back door of every tomb opens on a hilltop."

"To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it."

"You can't live on amusement. It is the froth on water - an inch deep and then the mud."
Leisure
"There can hardly be a plainer proof of the lowness of our nature, until we have laid hold of the higher nature that belongs to us by birthright, than this, that even a just anger tends to make us unjust and unkind."

"Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life."
