The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.

Life is just a schoolroom with a glorious opportunity to prepare us for eternity.

Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.
