What if you have seen it before, ten thousand times over? An apple tree in full blossom is like a message, sent fresh from heaven to earth, of purity and beauty.

The test of Christian character should be that a man is a joy-bearing agent to the world.

A man that is afraid is never a man.

Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.

Men strengthen each other in their faults. Those who are alike associate together, repeat the things which all believe, defend and stimulate their common faults of disposition, and each one receives from the others a reflection of his own egotism.

The great lever by which to raise and save the world is the unbounded love and mercy of God.

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.
