This earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of — William Mountford

"To understand at all what life means, one must begin with Christian belief. And I think knowledge may be sorrow with a man unless he loves."

"Yes, death, — the hourly possibility of it, — death is the sublimity of life."

"Duty reaches down the ages in its effects, and into eternity; and when the man goes about it resolutely, it seems to me now as though his footsteps were echoing beyond the stars, though only heard faintly in the atmosphere of this world."

"Yes, I live in God, and shall eternally. It is His hand upholds me now; and death will be but an uplifting of me into His bosom."

"Yes, what I am to be everlastingly, I am growing to be now — now in this present time so little thought of, this time which the sun rises and sets in, and the clock strikes in, and I wake and sleep in."

"God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us."
