To Be Deep In History, Is To

If We Are Intended For Great Ends, We Are Called To Great Hazards.

It Is Seldom We Have The Heart To Throw Ourselves, If I May So Speak, On The Divine Arm; We Dare Not Trust Ourselves On The Waters, Though Christ Bids Us. We Have Not St. Peter's Love To Ask Leave To Come To Him Upon The Sea. When We Once Are Filled With That Heavenly Charity, We Can Do All Things, Because We Attempt All Things - For To Attempt Is To Do.

All That Is Good, All That Is True, All That Is Beautiful, All That Is Beneficent, Be It Great Or Small, Be It Perfect Or Fragmentary, Natural As Well As Supernatural, Moral As Well As Material, Comes From God.

The Heart Is Commonly Reached, Not Through The Reason, But Through The Imagination, By Means Of Direct Impressions, By The Testimony Of Facts And Events, By History, By Description. Persons Influence Us, Voices Melt Us, Looks Subdue Us, Deeds Inflame Us. Many A Man Will Live And Die Upon A Dogma; No Man Will Be A Martyr For A Conclusion.

Learn To Do Thy Part And Leave The Rest To Heaven.
