Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much

Four things to learn in life: To think clearly without hurry or confusion; To love everybody sincerely; To act in everything with the highest motives; To trust God unhesitatingly.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Life is a succesion of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world

Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
