 A friend is what the heart needs all the time.

 A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.

 Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death - and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the

 As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.

 Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

 Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why

 Genius is talent set on fire by courage

 Gratitude is a twofold love / love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.

 I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad
shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.

 I thank God for the honesty and virility of Jesus religion which makes us face the facts and calls us to take a man's part in the real battle of life.

 In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.

 It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with
