Many times I am asked why the suffering of animals should call forth more sympathy from me than the suffering of human beings; why I work in this direction of charitable work more than toward any other. My answer is that because I believe that this work includes all the education and lines of reform which are needed to make a perfect circle of peace and goodwill about the Earth.

Good music is wine turned to sound

Thank Fate for foes! I hold mine dear As valued friends. He cannot know The zest of life who runneth here His earthly race without a foe.

O skies, be calm! O winds, blow free - Blow all my ships safe home to me! But if thou sendest some a-wrack, To never more come sailing back, Send any - all that skim the sea, But bring my love-ship home to me.

For every hour of pain I have had a day of pleasure. For every moment of worry, an hour of content.

The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe. No path is wholly rough.
