Be assured that no request which you can make to the kindest of earthly fathers will ever be so sure to be readily granted as the request which you make to your heavenly Father, that he will teach you to love him. Pray to him constantly for his help to open your eyes, and soften your hearts; and be sure that such prayers will not be in vain. Pray to him to show you what he thinks of the evil that you are every day committing, and to make you think of it in the same manner; and, depend upon it, that you will judge of it, ere long, very differently from what you now do.
Thomas Arnold — Thomas Arnold, D.D., Sermons Preached in the Chapel of Rugby School, with an Address before Confirmation, first American edition (New-York: D. Appleton & Co., 1846), Sermon VI, p. 55
