• Christianity is not the religion of sorrow and gloom: it is the religion of the morning, and it carries in its heart the happiness of heaven.

• Christianity is not a restraint but an inspiration—not a weight but wings; not subtraction but addition.

• Christianity brings bloom for faded hearts, rejuvenation for the prematurely old, imagination for the dry, literal mind.

• i is not a kill-joy at the feat of life, nor a kind of incarnate “don't:” It bristles with great affirmatives, fires the soul with permanent enthusiasms and durable loyalties.

• Christianity leaves a trail of light wherever it goes; it can keep you cool under any confusion, bring you up smiling from any depth and utterly banish your fret and worry.

• Christianity brings zest and sparkle to life; it is sunshine on the flowers rather than moonlight on the snow; it is life more abundant; it is leaving the little narrow life behind and leaving it forever. —H. E. Brown

“...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” —John 10:10
