" God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers, And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face, A gauntlet with a gift in it. " - Elizabeth Barrett Browning

" And each man stands with his face in the light. Of his own drawn sword, ready to do what a hero can. " - Elizabeth Barrett Browning

" God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame. " - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
