James Martineau quotes about
life-and-love heart grieving
I bow in reverence before the emotions of every melted heart....The more intense the delight in their presence, the more poignant the impression of their absence....When the tears of bereavement have had their natural flow, they lead us again to life and love's generous joy.
blessed visits-you soul
When the blessed Spirit, that bloweth where it listeth, visits you and stirs the plumage of the soul, seek no cowardly shelter from it, but fling yourself upon it, and, though its sweep be awful, you shall be sustained. Only do this, do all, not in presumptuous daring, but in divine submission; in dependence, not on any strength that can be spent, but on the ever-living stay of all that trust in Him.
selfishness suffrage meanness
We can neither change nor overpower God's eternal suffrage against selfishness and meanness.
time spirit moments
God has so arranged the chronometry of our spirits, that there shall be thousands of silent moments between the striking hours.
time heart should
We should count time by heart-throbs.
