He who governed the world before I was born shall take care of it likewise when I am dead. My part is to improve the present moment.

I have never known more than fifteen minutes of anxiety or fear. Whenever I feel fearful emotions overtaking me, I just close my eyes and thank God that He is still on the throne reigning over everything and I take comfort in His control over the affairs of my life.

Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
