experience." | |

them. Where sorrow "s held intrusive and turned out, There wisdom will not
enter, nor true power, Nor aught that dignifies humanity." | |

Lois Duncan

|
| "If we can say with Seneca, "This life is only a prelude to
eternity," then we need not worry so much over the fittings and
furnishings of this ante-room; and more than that, it will give dignity
and purpose to the fleeting days to know they are linked with the eternal
things as prelude and preparation." | |
