A person wrapped up in himself makes a small package.
Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it.
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.
Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to.
God is not a cosmic bellboy for whom we can press a button to get things.
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
He who cannot rest, cannot work; he who cannot let go, cannot hold on; he who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.
He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determines the end.
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.
