CARLYLE
“Happiness, and brightness in God’s service, is a great gift, and one that wins others to Him. We are told to ‘make melody in our hearts to the Lord’, and how can we do this unless we are bright and cheerful, and serve Him gladly? . . . you must live the life, not merely do the work. Live a quiet peaceful life alone with God, stayed on Him, and the work will come out of it. You will then do it simply, unconsciously. Try to keep yourself perfectly free and ready for Him to use you.”
H. MONSELL
“Every now and then there are flashes of light upon the gospel-page which let us see what a bright, sunny, sympathetic life the Saviour led, how perfectly free from harshness and asceticism was that character which, at the same time, carried a sweet and gentle seriousness and a robust earnestness with it wherever it went.”
