The more generous we are, the more joyous we become.

To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches.

We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys.

Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.
