The course of our lives is not determined by great, awesome decisions. Our direction is set by the little day-to-day choices which chart the track on which we run.

Quiet talk is the language of love. It is the language of peace. It is the language of God.

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.

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.

By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.
