If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love.—JOHN XV, 10.

But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.—MATT. V, 19.

Were a star quenched on high,

For ages would its light,

Still traveling downward from the sky,

Shine on our mortal sight.

So when a great man dies,

For years beyond our ken

The light he leaves behind him lies

Upon the paths of men.

H. W. LONGFELLOW.

He is not great who is not greatly good.

SHAKESPEARE.

Jesus is the Head of all the nobility of God, of all whom He considers noble for great thoughts, great deeds, great endurance, great love; for all that God considers great.

PHILIP BENNETT POWER.

The Great, in affliction, bear a countenance more Princely than they are wont: for it is the temper of the highest Hearts, like the Palm-tree, to strive most upwards when it is most burdened.

SIR PHILIP SIDNEY.

What your heart thinks great is great; the soul's emphasis is always right.

R. W. EMERSON.

A man is great just in proportion to his superiority to the conditions of life in which he is placed.
