Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.

Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first!

I do not mean to object to a thorough knowledge of the famous works we read. I object only to the interminable comments and bewildering criticisms that teach but one thing: there are as many opinions as there are men.

Be heroes in an army of construction.

The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor.

If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields.
