Phillips Brooks.

“‘This one thing I do,’ or, ‘These forty things I dabble in,’—which shall it be?”

I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there is any kindness I can show, or any good I can do to any fellow-being, let me do it now, let me not defer it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Mrs. A. B. Hegeman.

We get no good by being ungenerous, even to a book.

E. B. Browning.

Build a little fence of trust around to-day,

Fill the space with loving deeds and therein stay;

Look not through the sheltering bars upon to-morrow,

God will help thee bear what comes of joy or sorrow.
