True achievement in any sphere of action depends upon real ability, and a strong, deep, whole-souled love.

Nature intends all men and women to be mental and spiritual giants, and does not intend that any one should follow the will of another.

The true purpose of the strong is to promote greater strength in the weak, and not to keep the weak in that state where they are at the mercy of the strong.

It is better to have faith in everybody and be deceived occasionally than to mistrust everybody and be deceived almost constantly.

The desire to criticise becomes less and less as the character is developed. It is the mark of a fine character never to be critical and to mention but rarely the faults of others. A strong character does not resist evil, but uses their strength in building the good. They know that when the light is made strong, the darkness will disappear of itself.

Happiness, however, is not the result of any one single cause. It is the result of many ideal states of being grouped together into one harmonious whole.

Whenever you appreciate a certain thing you become conscious of its real quality, and whenever you become conscious of the quality of anything, you begin to develop that quality in yourself. When we appreciate the worth of a person, we tend to impress the idea of that worth in our own minds, and thereby cause the same effect to be produced, in a measure, in ourselves.
