But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day. — Prov 4:18

To think and to feel constitute the two grand divisions of men and genius—the men of reasoning and the men of imagination.
— Disraeli.

Grow old along with me! the best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand who saith, a whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!
— Robert Browning.

Prayer

Almighty God, I pray that I may have the grace to penetrate the deep things of life and test their truth and greatness. May I have faith in thy power and train for the best which thou hast made possible for me to live. Help me to think and feel aright, that I may be thine to-day, and in the days of to-morrow may I still be thine, ever keeping bright memories of past days. Amen.
