“Life never seems so clear and easy as when the heart is beating faster at the sight of some generous, self-risking deed. We feel no doubt then what is the highest prize the soul can win; we almost believe in our power to attain it.”

GEORGE ELIOT [pen-name of Mary Ann Evans]

“It is true of a human life that it finds its highest enjoyment n the consciousness of progress. Our times of greatest pleasure are when we have won some higher peak of difficulty, trodden under foot some evil, refused some pleasant temptation for truth’s sake, been swept out of ourselves by love, and felt day by day in such high labours so sure a growth of moral strength within us, that we cannot conceive of an end of growth.”

STOPFORD BROOKE

“Live rightly, so shalt thou acquire
Unknown capacities of joy.”
