“Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way.”

You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and to others. Do not nag yourself with a sense of failure. Get on your knees and ask for the blessings of the Lord;then stand on your feet and do what you are asked to do.

Work will cure your grief. Serve others.

I am suggesting that we spend a little less time in idleness, in the fruitless pursuit of watching inane and empty television programs. Time so utilized can be put to better advantage, and the consequences will be wonderful.

You must ask for God’s help. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.

Love is like the North Star. In a changing world, it’s always constant.

You can’t plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.

You have not failed until you quit trying.

It is good to look to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the future.

Let your first interest be in your home. The baby you hold in your arms will grow quickly as the sunrise and the sunset of the rushing days.

If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel.

The greatest job that any mother will ever do will be in nurturing, teaching, lifting, encouraging and rearing her children in righteousness and truth. None other can adequately take her place.

There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.

Keep your families close together, and love and honor your children.

Socialists are happy until they run out of other people’s money.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall a happy time when miserable.

The secret of happiness is very simple: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

And the tree was happy.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people. There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness.

National socialism is the determination to create a new man. There will no longer exist any individual arbitrary will, nor realms in which the individual belongs to himself. The time of happiness as a private matter is over.

I worry there is something broken in our generation, there are too many sad eyes on happy faces.

I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled.
