The longer the Church battles with the world, the more venerable she seems to become, and her victories of grace more brilliant, and the heavenliness of her ways more wonderful. Time writes no wrinkles on her brow but adds line after line of glory and freshness. She seems because we know her better to grow more beautiful, more powerful, more bright of face, more sweet of voice, more strong in arm, more motherlike in manner.

(From Maxims Of The Reverend Faber, published London 1877.)
