While we seek to fill up life in a way that will best secure the ends of our existence here, our whole plan and course of action should be such as will not hinder but serve our preparation for a future world.
Pray for and work for fullness of life above every thing; full red blood in the body; full honesty and truth in the mind; and the fullness of a grateful love for the Saviour in your heart.
I find death perfectly desirable; but I find life perfectly beautiful.
Every day that is born into the world comes likes a burst of music, and rings itself all the way through; and thou shalt make of it a dance, a dirge, or a grand life-march as thou wilt.
Act as if you expected to live a hundred years, but might die to-morrow.
Nor love thy life, nor hate; but what thou livest,
Live well; how long, or short, permit to Heaven.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
I would not choose to go where I would be afraid to die, nor could I bear to live without a good hope for hereafter.
