If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others.

Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy.

True humility is not an abject, groveling, self-despising spirit; it is but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.

Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
