If your hair remained on the scalp, you were a blonde. View quote

This is the Hall of Wisdom. No one can reveal it, no one can hide it. Like a flower it must grow and bloom in thy soul. If thou wouldst plant the seed of this flower in thy soul - learn to discern the real from the false. Listen only to the Voice that is soundless... Look only on that which is invisible, and remember that in thee thyself, is the Temple and the gate to it, and the mystery, and the initiation. View quote

I work its work; and in its hands I am the fool. When last comes to last, I have little life. I am simply a deed: an action done while courage holds: a seed. View quote

A divine life is hidden in every seed we sow for Jesus. It matters not how small the seed may be, nor in what secluded part of the vineyard it may be sown - a prayer, a word, a look, a pressure of the hand - God's almighty energy is enfolded in every seed which we sow in the Master's name and for His glory.
