How little our libraries cost us as compared with our liquor cellars.

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.

Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.

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.

Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.

We often hear of bad weather, but in reality no weather is bad. It is all delightful, though in different ways. Some weather may be bad for farmers or crops, but for man all kinds are good. Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating.

The world would be better and brighter if people were taught the duty of being happy as well as the happiness of doing their duty.
