This world is so full of care and sorrow that it is a gracious debt we owe to one another to discover the bright crystals of delight hidden in somber circumstances and irksome tasks.

If you look toward the sunshine, you will never see the shadows.

Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.

We must not creep along when our souls cry out for us to soar!

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

With every friend I love who has been taken into the brown bosom of the earth a part of me has been buried there; but their contribution to my being of happiness, strength and understanding remains to sustain me in an altered world.

We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
