“When you drink of the water, don’t forget the spring from which it flows.”

Man cannot really improve himself without improving others.

Accidentally consumed five biscuits when I wasn’t paying attention. Those biscuits are wily fellows – they leap in like sugary ninjas.

The shadows of our own desires stand between us and our better angels, and thus their brightness is eclipsed.

I know enough of the world now to have almost lost the capacity of being much surprised by anything.

Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!

Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.

Try to do unto others as you would have them do to you, and do not be discouraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better that they should fail than you should.

Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, are all very good words for the lips.

A new heart for a New Year, always!

Death may beget life, but oppression can beget nothing other than itself.

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.

Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.

The problem is that people forget.

Forget about being impressive and commit to being real.

Our friends have a way of reminding us of how fabulous we are when the rest of the world has forgotten.

I worked hard, day after day, evening upon evening, trying to impress others I’d forgotten I impressed myself.

People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.

In life you have a choice: Bitter or Better? Choose better, forget bitter.

Every person, if he is to have mental health and live successfully, must move away from past failures and mistakes and go forward without letting them be a weight upon him. The art of forgetting is absolutely necessary.
