Happiness does not depend upon a full pocketbook, but upon a mind full of rich thoughts and a heart full of rich emotions.

The master secret of happiness is to meet the challenge of each new day with the serene faith that: "All things work together for good to them that love God."

It is looking for the joys that come in small, precious packages and making the most of them, knowing that big packages of joy are few and far between.

Prayer is thinking and thanking. It is thinking of our many blessings and accepting them with a thankful spirit.

Tolerance is understanding. It is open to new light. Those who are tolerant are always eager to explore viewpoints other than their own.

Believe! Believe in the limitless supply of God's goodness. The universe is filled with more wonders than you can imagine.

Few of us will do the spectacular deeds of heroism that spread themselves across the pages of our newspapers in big black headlines. But we can all be heroic in the little things of everyday life. We can do the helpful things, say the kind words, meet our difficulties with courage and high hearts, stand up for the right when the cost is high, keep our word even though it means sacrifice, be a giver instead of a destroyer. Often this quiet, humble heroism is the greatest heroism of all.
