Quotes

For quite some time now I've been wanting to take a few minutes and write out some of my favorite quotes that I've heard over time or read in favorite books. This will be a project that will take me several days if not weeks to accomplish....

"But there is no use in trying to engraft an opposite nature on one's own.
What I am, that I must be, except as God changes me into His own image. And
everything brings me back to that, as my supreme desire. I see more and more
that I must be myself what I want my children to be, and that I cannot make
myself over even for their sakes. This must be His work, and I wonder that it
goes so slowly; that all the disappointments, sorrow, ... I have passed through,
have left me still selfish, still full of imperfections!"

Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss
