Louise Jordan Miln

  • ... an ounce of help is worth more than a pound of pity any day ...

  • It is said that the offender never forgives. Certainly it is quite explicitly hard for the one in the wrong to do so. And it takes more spiritual asset than continued alcohol often leaves.

  • Only the highest souls realize and accept that he who sins is far more to be pitied, aye, and loved, if love is what the highest human passion should be, than is the one against whom the sinner has sinned.

  • We earn what we get — most of us — and, sweet heaven help us! we get it. God does not always pay on Saturday — but He Pays.

  • Your true cosmopolitan is born, not made. He is very rare.

Louise Jordan Miln, U.S. writer

(1864 - 1933)
