Movie Wisdom from The Bishop's Wife

Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven): Let us ask ourselves what He would wish for most. And then, let each put in his share, loving kindness, warm hearts, and a stretched out hand of tolerance. All the shinning gifts that make peace on earth.

The end of the Bishop Henry Brougham's angel-written sermon in The Bishop's Wife. A quiet, exquisite fable in an understated, touching film.
