Things which a man will not do for the love of woman he may do for the love of God--and it was with a sense of moral exaltation that August entered into the lofty spirit of self-sacrifice he had seen in his mother, and caught himself saying, in his heart, as he had heard her say, "Let us do anything for the Father's sake!" Some will call this cant.

So much the worse for them.

This motive, too little felt in our day--too little felt in any day--is the great impulse that has enabled men to do the bravest things that have been done.

The sublimest self-sacrifice is only possible to a man by the aid of some strong moral tonic.

God's love is the chief support of the strongest spirits.
