We should think seriously before we slam doors, before we burn bridges, before we saw off the limb on which we find ourselves sitting.

Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

Your direction is more important than your speed.

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

If we don't want temptation to follow us, we shouldn't act as if we are interested. No one ever fell over a precipice who never went near one.

Realize that the privilege to work is a gift. Love of work is success. Be thankful that every morning that you get up that you have some thing that must be done (whether you like it or not).

We have to trust the Lord God for so many things, and it is but one thing more to trust him in the issues of life and death, and to accept the fact that his plans and promises and purposes transcend the bounds of this world and of this life. With such faith the years are kind, and peace and reconciliation do come to those who have laid to rest their loved ones - who, even in death, are not far removed from us, and of whom our Father in heaven will be mindful until we meet again even as we are mindful of our own children.
