Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

When one door of hapiness closes, another opens.

Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Only in quietness do we possess our own minds and discover the resources of the Inner Life.

Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.

The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
