In this world we do not see things as they are. We see them as we are, because what we see depends mainly on what we are looking for.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.

Do not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged.

Don't be afraid of showing affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy than by service. Love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.

Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.
