“Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat.”

Let your joy scream across the pain.

You venture into the unknown land because that is where your heart will take you. In the end, it is not what you want to do, it is something you have to do.

Life begins at eighty.

A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.

The sweetness of life lies in usefulness, like honey deep in the heart of a clover bloom.

In order to thoroughly enjoy anything, one must feel the absence of it at times.

Let’s be cheerful! We have no more right to steal the brightness out of the day for our own family than we have to steal the purse of a stranger.

It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living close to nature.

Home is the nicest word there is.

I believe we would be happier to have a personal revolution in our individual lives and go back to simpler living and more direct thinking.

There’s no great loss without some small gain.

There is a spirit in every home, a sort of composite spirit composed of the thoughts and feelings of the members of the family as a composite photograph is formed of the features of different individuals.

People used to have time to live and enjoy themselves, but there is no time anymore for anything but work, work, work.

It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good.

The object of all education is to make folks fit to live.

Tact does for life just what lubricating oil does for machinery.

There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.

Non-violence has suffered its biggest defeat in the hands of people who most want to talk about it.

Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.

Being famous used to just defeat me. I wouldn’t leave my house because I was worried about someone being like, ‘Oh, are you Mac Miller?’ and then the rest of the night I couldn’t be myself.

The people united will never be defeated.

There is nothing more pathetic and futile than a general who lives long enough to explain a defeat.
