“Too many have no idea of the subjection of their temper to the influence of religion, and yet what is changed, if the temper is not? If a man is as passionate, malicious, resentful, sullen, moody, or morose after his conversion as before it, what is he converted from or to?” IfsMenIdeasInfluenceChangedPassionateConversionNo IdeaTemperMaliciousMoodyResentfulSullenSubjectionMorose Author:John Angell James
“Every woman whether rich or poor, married or single, has a circle of influence within which, according to her character, she is exerting a certain amount of power for good or harm. Every woman, by her virtue or her vice, by her folly or her wisdom, by her levity or her dignity, is adding something to our national elevation or degradation. A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart over the hearts of others, she will raise that community from its ruins and restore it again to prosperity and joy.” HeartCharacterJoyCertainCommunityPoorVirtueRichInfluenceAmountMarriedDignityRaisesProsperityVicesMissionsHarmNobleCirclesRuinsFollyDegradationElevationRich Or PoorLevityCircle Of Influence Author:John Angell James
