Burdens we all must bear; but they need not break us. Sorrows we all must share; but they need not unmake us. They will not if we have learned the Teacher's secret of living; He, the man of sorrows, was the man who could bequeath to His friends His joy. To Him life lost its anxiety, because the chief things of life were not food or raiment, or even social standing, but manhood and unselfishness to men, and the possibilities of these were as easily realized in need and adversity as in riches and prosperity.

A good many resolutions die of heart failure.
No man possesses more religion than he practices.
When men say "our faults" they usually mean yours.
There are no delights in the worship that dodges duty.
When fear gets into the pulpit faith goes out of the pews.
It's not the man with a putty backbone who is most truly resigned to the will of God.
