In every life there is a perfect moment, like a flash of sun. We can shape our days by that, if we will - before by faith, and afterward by memory.

The body grows by food and work, the mind by use, and the soul through joy and pain.

A good forgettery is a happier possession than a good memory.

Nothing is bad which does not harm either you or someone else.

When we come to the sundown road, we need all the love we have managed to take with us from the summit of the hill.

Home is a place where we all do as we please - usually regardless of the others.
