Blessings Quotes

If one should give me a dish of sand, and tell me there were particles of iron in it, I might look for them with my eyes, and search for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them; but let me take a magnet and sweep through it; and how would it draw to itself the almost invisible particles by the mere power of attraction!

The greatest things will endure - faith, hope and love, and the moral nature in man. - Claude M. Fuess
