Love is the spirit of life, and makes all things live.

When we trust our brother, whom we have seen, we are learning to trust God, whom we have not seen.

Seek to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.

He who believes in goodness has the essence of all faith. He is a man of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrows.

A politician thinks of the next election; a statement of the next generation. A politician looks for the success of his party; a statesman for that of his country. The statesman wishes to steer, while the politician is satisfied to drift.

Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well.

Whenever we do what we can, we immediately can do more.
