The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.
No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind.
No man has come to true greatness who has not felt that his life belongs to his race, and that which God gives to him, He gives him for mankind.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.
It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.
