Mary Agnes Tincker

Mary Agnes Tincker (July 18, 1833 – 1907) was an American novelist. Quotes To be in heaven while yet upon earth, what is it? It is to have a sense of security which extends to the bounds of conception,—and beyond, a sense which no peril can disturb. It is to be steeped in a silent contentment which no words can express. It is to call the bird your sister, and the sun your brother. It is to study how you may serve those whom you have hated. It is to say farewell to those who are dearest to you, and know that they are not lost. It is to see the sorrows of earth as motes in a sunbeam, yet be full of compassion for the suffering. It is to know for what purpose you were created. San Salvador (1892) External links Category:1833 births Category:Catholics from the United States Category:1907 deaths
