Edward Everett Hale

The making of friends who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life. ”

You need the living, loving heart of living, loving men and women to quicken other hearts, which can live too and love too, and, in their turn, will quicken others which are dying now. ”

Thrones, dominations, principalities know now with a terrible certainty that mere force of arms has no power which compares with that living word of the crucified Nazarene, that bears with it Eternal Life, and directs the duty of a world of men whom he can lead, but who bend no knee to power. ”

Do well what you do. And do it conscious that you ought to be leaders among men. ”

Let a man live with God, not afraid to talk with him. Let him study God's plans and methods, as one of Michelangelo's pupils might study his. ”

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. ”
