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

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

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

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

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

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

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

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.
