They are not calculated to make me particularly popular in Wall Street, and I cannot help that.”

“The time is coming when all men will see that the gift of God to the soul is not a vaunting, overpowering, excluding sanctity, buta sweet, natural goodness, a goodness like thine and mine, and that so invites thine and mine to be and to grow.”
