A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
From Henry Van Dyke
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.
As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us; and surely it is a good haven to sail for.
There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher.
