“Where there is no vision, there is no hope.”

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.

Young people, I want to beg of you always keep your eyes open to what Mother Nature has to teach you. By so doing you will learn many valuable things every day of your life.

My purpose alone must be God’s purpose.

You can’t teach people anything. You can only draw out.

We get closer to God as we get more intimately and understandingly acquainted with the things He has created. I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for one’s self.

When our thoughts – which bring actions – are filled with hate against anyone, Negro or white, we are in a living hell. That is as real as hell will ever be.

The beating on the tail of the snake may stop his progress a little, but the more vital parts must be struck before his poisonous death-dealing venom will be wiped out.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for ones self.

We have become ninety-nine percent money mad. The method of living at home modestly and within our income, laying a little by systematically for the proverbial rainy day which is due to come, can almost be listed among the lost arts.

Nature is the greatest teacher and I learn from her best when others are asleep. In the still dark hours before sunrise God tells me of the plans I am to fulfill.

God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His.

Never a day passes but that I do myself the honor to commune with some of nature’s varied forms.

There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation – veneer isn’t worth anything.

Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.

Whatever you love opens its secrets to you.

You cannot hope to heal when you are stuck some where between needing to get over them and still wishing for them to come back.

I hope you rise like the sun, bright and cheerful. Fresh and free from yesterdays storms and ready to shine your light on the world.

Bloom with your colors and fluttering wings of hope and smiles.

Only those who believe are the ones who actually make it happen.

Hope is the gentle salve the world needs.

I hope when she touches you it burns holes into your skin and leaves scars where my lips would have been.

Young people are leading the charge for a more sustainable and equal world and they give me hope.     

We deserve sunshine and hope; and stitches for bruised hearts.
