Let husband and wife never speak to one another in loud tones,unless the house is on fire.

There are seeds of happiness in every soul. Our mental attitude and dispositions constitute the environment in which these seeds germinate. There is as much need for sunshine in our heart as for sunshine in the world. Today, as perhaps never before, mankind needs encouragement and cheer.

Man is responsible not only for every deed, but also for every idle word and thought.

He who harbors hatred and bitterness injures himself far more than the one towards whom he manifests these evil propensities.

All good things require effort. That which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (Matt. 7:7.) But you have to seek, you have to knock. On the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. It walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. You do not have to put forth effort. … Evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude to combat it. But truth and wisdom are gained only by seeking, by prayer, and by effort.

True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character.

Wisdom is the right application of knowledge; and true education...is the application of knowledge to the development of a noble and Godlike character.
