Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

The more one does the more one can do.

Human crises have a way of happening at inconvenient times.

The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

In my life I had come to realize that when things were going very well indeed it was just the time to anticipate trouble. And, conversely, I learned from pleasant experience that at the most despairing crisis, when all looked sour beyond words, some delightful "break" was apt to lurk just around the corner.

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
