“The gap between enthusiasm and indifference is filled with failures. The great man is he that does not lose his child’s heart.”

Is it only the mouth and belly which are injured by hunger and thirst? Men’s minds are also injured by them.

Never lose your child’s heart.

The ways are two: love and want of love. That is all.

All things are already complete in us. There is no greater delight than to be conscious of right within us. If one strives to treat others as he would be treated by them, he shall not fail to come near the perfect life.

Those who follow the part of themselves which is great are great men; those who follow the part which is little are little men.

Friends are the siblings God never gave us.

Only those who develop their minds and spirits to the utmost can serve Heaven and fulfill their own destinies.

To act without clear understanding, to form habits without investigation, to follow a path all one’s life without knowing where it really leads; such is the behavior of the multitude.

Heaven sees as the people see. Heaven hears as the people hear.

He who goes to the bottom of his own heart knows his own nature; And knowing his own nature, he knows heaven.

Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else.

Human nature is good, just as water seeks low ground. There is no man who is not good, just as there is no water that does not flow downward.

Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.

Truth uttered before its time is dangerous.

Incessant falls teach men to reform, and distress rouses their strength. Life springs from calamity, and death from ease.

There is no greater delight than to be conscious of sincerity on self-examination.

Children are the future of our world.

Our freedom is threatened every time one of our young people is killed by another child, every time a person gets stopped and beaten by the police because of the color of their skin.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

What are the children of men, but as leaves that drop at the wind’s breath?

All men know their children mean more than life.

Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.

Grown ups are complicated creatures, full of quirks and secrets.

Those who care for the little ones are on God’s side and defeat the culture of waste.
