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

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

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

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

I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

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

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
