In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
From Henry Van Dyke
Genius is talent set on fire by courage.
The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Love is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives the longest.
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament.
Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.
