Whoever is not with me in the essential things of life, him I no
longer know--I owe him no consideration.
--Henrik Ibsen.
Only he who lives in truth finds it. The deepest truth is not born
of conscious striving, but comes in the quiet hour when a noble
nature gives itself into the keeping of life, to suffer, to feel, to
think, and to act as it is moved by a wisdom not its own.
--Hamilton Mabie.
Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to
the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the
prize of the high calling of God.
--Philippians 3. 13, 14.
Lord God, I thank thee for the silent ways of revelation which bring
hopeful communion with thee. Help me to be composed, that my life may
not create a noise and my soul miss the messages that come from the
depths of truth and love. Amen.
