What are stumbling blocks and defeat to the weak and vacillating are but stepping stones to victory to the determined soul.

The power of material things, to bestow happiness, to bring joy into the life is tremendously exaggerated. But The right mental attitude for example gratitude that things are not worse, the trained mind the right habits of thought - lifeskills, will bring to us the best there is in the universe.

You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure.

There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.

People do not realise the immense value of utilising spare minutes.

Keep fear out of your child's mind, as you would keep poison out of his body; for fear is the deadliest of mental poisons.

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