I did not agree with it, but here and there I saw the flash of truth even in the adverse praise.

I should have had more respect for the author's opinion if he had liked that vital speck, Raegen.

My greatest pride in you, that which has added some sweetness and joy to my life, has been the recognition that something of the divine element was given you, and that your voice rang out sweet and pure at a time when other voices were sounding the fascinations of impurity.

That, like Christ, you taught humanity.

Don't be afraid of being thought "fresh," fear to be thought "knowing." Life isn't much worth at best,--it is worth nothing at all unless some good be done in it---the more, the better.
