even though disease and sorrow are all about us, health and happiness are the normal state of man.

It seems a strange fact that it is almost more important for us to be happy ourselves than to try to make other people happy. By being happy we confer untold benefits upon our fellow men.

All the higher forms of life have evolved from some one's ideal of justice, liberty or beauty; and the belief that nothing is too good to be true.

When one has a famishing thirst for happiness, one is apt to gulp down diversions wherever they are offered.

There is an invariable law that the only way to keep the real things of life is by sharing them or giving them away.

Yer feelin's is like ras'berry vinegar: if you're skeered to use 'em an' keep on savin' 'em, first thing you know they've done 'vaporated!

Half of our sorrows come from setting exalted standards for people and then breaking our hearts when they fail to live up to them.
