Content is not the pathway to great deeds.

Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.

All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.

It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.

The splendid discontent of God With chaos made the world. And from the discontent of man The worlds best progress springs.

Whatever is... is best.

How happy they are, in all seeming, How gay, or how smilingly proud, How brightly their faces are beaming, These people who make up the crowd!
