Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.
