You become what you think about all day long. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There is creative reading as well as creative writing."

"Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up"

"Life is a series of surprises and would not be worth taking or keeping if it were not."

"Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet."

"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."
