Somehow, I never feel like good things b'long to me till I pass 'em on to somebody else.

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.

Somehow, I never feel like good things b'long to me till I pass 'em on to somebody else.

It'll be with me like it was with Uncle Ned's ole ox, I reckon; he kep' a-goin' an' a-goin' till he died a-standin' up, an' even then they had to push him over.

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.

It is a terrifying as well as hopeful truth that we tend to bring into being in form whatever we fashion in thought.

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