“When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, He goes about it in a very unusual
way. He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, He has a helpless baby born,
perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits.
The greater forces in the world are not the earthquakes and thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are
babies.”
E. T. Sullivan

“But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and fit
unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near
you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights; …always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it
shall be my breath, as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah, do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for
thee, for we shall meet again.”
