Each of us needs in his heart's treasury the memory of a lovely line to renew fellowship with the great and noble of this earth - and, indeed, almost as great as the ability to write a line of strength is the ability to use that line to higher levels of emotion and achievement. To discover afresh in truth expressed with elemental force our eternal kinship with God is a universal urge. "Leaves of Gold" had its origin in the recognition of this impulse. From those who spoke with authority have been chosen words in which the Word becomes flesh to dwell among us. Here are maxims, phrases, anecdotes, passages, proverbs and essays from the best minds among men; here are words of wisdom and thoughts of comfort for all mankind. Consolation is the objective of "Leaves of Gold'; to provide a key to things of the spirit as inspiration for daily living, its design.". #01858.
