"Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus."
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
"Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true."
"Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up"
"If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads."
