Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.

Going for character: why not now, and where you stand?

We must accept life for what it actually is - a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.

It is the history of our kindnesses that alone make this world tolerable. If it were not for that, for the effect of kind words, kind looks, kind letters . . . I should be inclined to think our life a practical jest in the worst possible spirit.

A generous prayer is never presented in vain; the petition may be refused, but the petitioner is always, I believe, rewarded by some gracious visitation.

We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
