There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Great hopes make great men.

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

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

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

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

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.
