Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

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

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Great hopes make great men.

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

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

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

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