In the name of the Fathers, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, here goes-I mean Amen.

‎"Don't bother too much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them; when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior

All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.

When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do, very often, is to put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are. And in a few minutes, as we have all noticed, you will be really feeling friendlier than you were.

The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life.

A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.

God whispers in our pleasures, but shouts in our pain.
