More quotes by Arthur Kenney

It is the best thing for a stricken heart to be helping others.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

To be like Christ in His love is far more than to be like Him in His knowlege, if we were forced to choose between them; but they harmonize and strengthen each other; more knowledge will help us to love more; and more love help us to know more.
