Need of Solitude

JOHN the Baptist, preparatory to the taking up of his life-work, went apart into the wilderness to be alone. Solitude is the preparation for the great moments of life.
In the mutual life solitude is strength. If we cultivate this habit of solitude, we find that it is not so dreary a thing as the inexperienced believe, and a man’s life is happier for its moments of healthful solitude, and has a strength that is missing in the lives of those who never go apart.—New York Observer.
