We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling.

Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.

It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.

A lobster, when left high and dry among the rock, does not have the sense enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him. The world is full of human lobsters; people stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
