Higher Law Quotes - Page 2

• To be risen with Christ means not only that one has a choice and that one may live by a higher law - the law of grace and love - but that one must do so.

We are his stewards, and must so discharge our trust as to secure in the highest attainable degree their happiness.

  William H. Seward
