Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

Great hopes make great men.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

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

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.
