Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

Be not dismayed; in the future lies the Promised Land.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next. Mere tolerance has given place to a sentiment of brotherhood between sincere men of all denominations.

The things you do today that you don't have to do will determine who, what, and where you will be when it is too late to do anything about the things you should have done.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars.
