He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.

The weak in courage is strong in cunning.

The busy bee has no time for sorrow.

For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing.

For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.

Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.
