The man who has a certain religious belief and fears to discuss it, lest it may be proved wrong, is not loyal to his belief, he has but a coward's faithfulness to his prejudices. If he were a lover of truth, he would be willing at any moment to surrender his belief for a higher, better, and truer faith.

There are times when a man should be content with what he has but never with what he is

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

Happiness is the soul's joy in the possession of the intangible.

There is a tonic strength, in the hour of sorrow and affliction, in escaping from the world and society and getting back to the simple duties and interests we have slighted and forgotten. Our world grows smaller, but it grows dearer and greater. Simple things have a new charm for us, and we suddenly realize that we have been renouncing all that is greatest and best, in our pursuit of some phantom.

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

Gratitude is thankfulness expressed in action.
