"When virtue has slept it will arise more vigorous."
"When virtue has slept she will get up more refreshed."
"If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love - You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point."
"Oh, my friends, that your self be in your deed as the mother is in her child - let that be your word concerning virtue!"
