Austin Phelps

The consciousness of Divine friendship in devotion, so far from being impaired, is deepened by holy veneration. The purest and most lasting human friendships are permeated with an element of reverence; much more this friendship of a man with God.

Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought.

Wear the old coat and buy the new book.

We are never more like Christ than in prayers of intercession.

Vigilance in watching opportunity tact and daring in seizing upon opportunity force and persistence in crowding opportunity to its utmost possible achievement-these are the martial virtues which must command success.

We never feel Christ to be a reality, until we feel Him to be a necessity.
