Gratitude is thankfulness expressed in action.

Life is simply time given to man to learn how to live.

Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other.

Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil---the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.

A fad lives its life in a few weeks; a philosophy lives through generations and centuries; a principle, forever.

Man does not drift into goodness...the chance port of an aimless voyage. He must fight ever for his destination.

We know nothing of the trials, sorrows and temptations of those around us, of pillows wet with sobs, of the life-tragedy that may be hidden behind a smile, of the secret cares, struggles, and worries that shorten life and leave their mark in hair prematurely whitened, and a character changed and almost recreated in a few days. Let us not dare to add to the burden of another the pain of our judgment.
