Michael Josephson Commentary

We can set our deeds to the music of a grateful heart and seek to round our lives into a hymn – the melody of which will be recognized by all who come in contact with us.
– William Mackergo Taylor, Scottish clergyman (1829-1895)
Don’t aim at any impossible heroisms. Strive rather to be quiet in your own sphere. Don’t live in the cloudland of some transcendental heaven; do your best to bring the glory of a real heaven down, and ray it out upon your fellows.
– William Morley Punshon, British minister (1824-1881)
He that easily believes rumors has the principle within him to augment rumors. It is strange to see the ravenous appetite with which some devourers of character and happiness fix upon the sides of the innocent and unfortunate.
– Jane Porter, British novelist, playwright (1776-1850)
