Ralph Connor Quotes

“Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.”

"I have lost her," he said, his lips quivering. "She will never change." "No, she will never change," replied Jane gently. "But you can always love her. And she will be happy." "She will be happy?" he exclaimed, looking at her in astonishment. "But she will not be mine." "No, she will not be yours," said Jane still very gently, "but she will be happy, and after all, that is what you most want. You are anxious chiefly that she shall be happy. You would give everything to make her happy." "I would give my life. Oh, gladly, gladly, I would give my life, I would give my soul, I would give everything I have on earth and heaven too." "Then don't grieve too much," said Jane, putting her hand on his arm. "She will be happy." "But what of me?" he cried pitifully, his voice and lips trembling like those of a little child in distress. "Shall I be happy?" "No, not now," replied Jane steadily, striving to keep back her tears, "perhaps some day. But you will think more of her happiness than of your own. Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy." For some moments the man stood as if trying to understand what she had said. Then with a new access of grief and rage, he cried, "But my God! My God! I want her. I cannot live without her. I could make her happy too." "No, never," said Jane. "She loves him." "Ach--so. Yes, she loves him, and I--hate him. He is the cause of this. Some day I will kill him. I will kill him." "Then she would never be happy again," said Jane, and her face was full of pain and of pity. "Go away," he said harshly. "Go away. You know not what you say. Some day I shall make him suffer as I suffer to-day. God hears me. Some day." He lifted his hands high above his head. Then with a despairing cry, "Oh, I have lost her, I have lost her," he turned from Jane and rushed into the woods. Shaken, trembling and penetrated with pity for him, Jane made her way toward the office, near which she found Larry with the manager discussing an engineering problem which appeared to interest them both.

“Terre Haute North is ranked 18th and it isnt hard to see why. Aubrey ran a really good race for us. She was about 10th at the half-mile and moved up. She ran a very smart race.”
