Complacency is the one obstacle to progress, in finance, in art, in in — Robert Hugh Benson

"A growing lad, while he is clumsier, yet manages to leap higher than a year ago."

"Cast away Authority, and authority shall forsake you."

"Nothing is so bad as not trusting God."

"The real and only satisfactory motive for submission does not lie in superficial things, but in the deep, still current of faith that comes from God direct, and bears the soul along."

"There is no such thing, of course, really as Irreligion — except by a purely conventional use of the word: the irreligious man is one who has made up his mind either that there is no future world, or that it is so remote, as regards effectivity, as to have no bearing upon this. And that is a religion — at least it is a dogmatic creed — as much as any other."

"Speak from your heart...Be bold, yet not overbold."
