You have to believe in happiness, or happiness never comes.

Courage is to feel the daily daggers of relentless steel and keep on living.

If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun, be a star; It isn't by size that you win or you fail- Be the best of whatever you are.

A liar freely gives his oath

The tree that never had to fight for sun and sky and air and light but stood out in the open plain and always got it share of rain, never became a forest king but lived and died a scrubby thing. Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger wind, the stronger trees.

Father of fathers, make me one, A fit example for a son.

He who makes a garden Works hand in hand with God.
