Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else expects... - Henry Ward Beecher

"It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship."

"A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road."

"We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning."

"Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown."

"Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven."
