“So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.”

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Relationships are like Rome – difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the ‘golden age’, and unbearable during the fall.

If the blind put their hands in God’s, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.

The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.

Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience.

Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each others welfare, social justice can never be attained.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.

Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within.

Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. What you believe about Life will be your experience of Life.

After a life time of being tempted by doubts, I must tell you, it feels far better to be wooed by hope.

If you are perpetually angry, depressed, confused, and unloving, or your attention is elsewhere, it won’t matter how successful you become or who is in your life – you won’t enjoy any of it.

The time will come when mankind will begin to get away from the consciousness of needing so many material things. More security and peace will be found in the simple life.

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what’s wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right.

But life’s joys are only joys if they can be shared.

Suddenly you’re ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you’re alive and its spectacular.

Never, ever, ever think that your life is over, but know always that each day, each hour, each moment is another beginning, another opportunity, another chance to re-create yourself anew.
