John Lancaster Spalding Giving Quotations

If we are disappointed that men give little heed to what we utter is it for their sake or our own?

What is greatly desired, but long deferred, gives little pleasure, when at length it is ours, for we have lived with it in imagination until we have grown weary of it, having ourselves, in the meanwhile, become other.

In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
