Give me by all means the shorter and nobler life, instead of one that is longer but of less account!

As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.

No living being is held by anything so strongly as its own needs.

Silence is safer than speech.

Books are the training weights of the mind.

Dare to look up to God and say, Deal with me in the future as Thou wilt; I am of the same mind as Thou art; I am Thine; I refuse nothing that pleases Thee; lead me where Thou wilt; clothe me in any dress Thou choosest.

No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
