    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I hope you will be benefitted by your churchgoing. Where the habit does not Christianize, it generally civilizes. That is reason enough for supporting churches, if there were no higher.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “There would be no supporting life were we to feel quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
