What I ask of American Christianity is not to show us more creeds, but more of Christ; not more rites and ceremonies, but more rel...igion glowing with love and replete with life,--religion which will be to all weaker races an uplifting power, and not a degrading influence. Jesus Christ has given us a platform of life and duty from which all oppression and selfishness is necessarily excluded.

The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crime...s of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

It becomes his duty to pour the coffee for the outfit. "Come and get her before I throw her out" is the time honored mess call.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When I had youth I had no money; now I have the money I have no time; and when I get the time, if I ever do, I shall have no healt...h to enjoy life. I suppose it's the discipline I need; but it's rather hard to love the things I do, and see them go by because duty chains me to my galley. If I ever come into port with all sails set, that will be my reward perhaps.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
