“I expect I shall be a student to the end of my days.”

To judge between good or bad, between successful and unsuccessful would take the eye of a God.

Love, respect, and friendship do unite a people as well as a common hatred does.

Each of us is full of too many wheels, screws and valves to permit us to judge one another on a first impression or by two or three external signs.

The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.

Money, like vodka, turns a person into an eccentric.

It’s easier to ask for money from the poor than from the wealthy.

We learn about life not from plusses alone, but from minuses as well.

The more cultured a man, the less fortunate he is.

Without a knowledge of languages you feel as if you don’t have a passport.

I observed that after marriage people cease to be curious.

Brevity – the sister of talent.

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.

They say philosophers and wise men are indifferent. Wrong. Indifference is a paralysis of the soul, a premature death.

For God’s sake, have some self-respect and do not run off at the mouth if your brain is out to lunch.

The unhappy are egotistical, base, unjust, cruel, and even less capable of understanding one another than are idiots. Unhappiness does not unite people, but separates them.

Every day you must be able to say, I have to get up because I’m needed by someone. As long as you have that, you’re healthy.

In these days when we feed those who are not hungry, we are stealing from those who are starving, even though the food is our own.

Bite your lips, little brother…Don’t cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now…Wait. Clench your teeth and wait.

My style kind of differs – sometimes I want to be a little dressed down, a little tomboy, sometimes I want to be dressed up and very chic and look proper. But I don’t ever believe in overdoing it for day-to-day style.

On the last day, Jesus will look us over not for medals, diplomas, or honors, but for scars.

I didn’t realize it, but the days came along one after another, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and I was gone.

Gratitude BRINGS MORE to be grateful about, so today I make the point of expressing gratitude for everything in my LIFE!

Here I am. I am here. Making this new day all it can be. Rejoicing in the sunrise thankful for the sunset. And hopeful that it will all happen again tomorrow.
