It is better to follow even the shadow of the best, than to remain content with the worst.

For those who love... time is eternity.

All Thy works with joy surround Thee, God of glory, Lord of Love; Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.

And you will remember that love is not getting, but giving; not a wild dream of pleasure, and a madness of desire — oh no, love is not that — it is goodness, and honour, and peace, and pure living — yes, love is that; and it is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives longest.

Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of Earth is toil.

One truly affectionate soul in a family will evert a sweetening and harmonizing influence upon all its members.
