“How loving is the Lord God and how strong withal!”

“How strong is the love of the country in all indwellers of towns!”

“In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t.”

“But I guessed that no matter how strong it was, love alone couldn't turn a speck of dust into a galaxy of stars.”

“It’s not about how strong you were back then, it is about how strong you are right here right now.”

“God will judge us not according to how much we endured, but how much we could love”

“A strong nor'-wester's blowing, Bill!
Hark! don't ye hear it roar now?
Lord help 'em, how I pities them
Unhappy folks on shore now!”

“Speak, Lord, our souls are hushed to hear what Thou hast to say to us. Great is the stake, overwhelming may be the risks — most glorious are the opportunities. Speak, Lord, and show us what our duty is — how high, how difficult, yet how happy, how blessed — show us what our duty is, and, O great God and Father, give us strength to do it.”

“Only God knows how much I love you.”

“My God, these folks don't know how to love — that's why they love so easily.”
