The highest result of education is tolerance. Long ago men fought and died for their faith; but it took ages to teach them the other kind of courage, - the courage to recognize the faiths of their brethren and their rights of conscience.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings.

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.

So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
