Quotes by Anna L. Waring
a Therefore, if you aspire to be a son of consolation, if you would partake of the priestly gift of sympathy - if you would pour something beyond common-place consolation into tempted heart - if you would pass through the daily intercourse of daily life with the delicate tact which never inflicts pain - if, to that most acute of human ailments, mental doubt, you are ever to give effectual succor, you must be content to pay the price of the costly education.
