True happiness comes only by making others happy.

Pleasure is not the purpose of man's existence. Joy is.

Friendship is a sacred possession. As air, water and sunshine to flowers, trees and verdure, so smiles, sympathy and love of friends to the daily life of man. To live, laugh, love one's friends, and be loved by them is to bask in the sunshine of life.

Motherhood is the one thing in all the world which most truly exemplifies the God-given virtues of creating and sacrificing. Though it carries the woman close to the brink of death, motherhood also leads her into the very realm of the fountains of life and makes her co-partner with the Creator in bestowing upon eternal spirits mortal life.

The most powerful thing in the world is an idea.

Everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite.

Happiness consists not of having, but of being. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself.
