Death is not the master of the house, he is only the porter of the king's lodge.

May my life be like a great hospitable tree, and may weary wanderers find in me a rest.

...Prayer is not always petition, sometimes it is just communion. It is the exquisite ministry of friendship.

Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.

If we do not catch men, we are in great danger of losing even the desire to catch them. Our purposed activity is in peril of becoming a dream.

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.

Let us sing even when we do not feel like it, for in this way we give wings to heavy feet and turn weariness into strength.
