No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, enjoy it and bless God for it. Do not look back on happiness -- or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.

Storms purify the atmosphere.

In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.

Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.

Victories that come cheap are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.

But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.

God's providence is on the side of clear heads.
