Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.

There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing --- but we all do and call it Hope.

Precious one, So small, So sweet. Dancing in on angel feet Straight from Heaven's brightest star... A miracle here on earth In your house a little one, Has taken birth.

Deep within each heart, through all life's changing seasons, love remembers love.

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

He that lives upon hope, dies fasting.

I will not steep my speech in lies; the test of any man lies in action.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him.

Riches are not from an abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind.

When you get right down to the root of the meaning of the word "succeed," you find it simply means to follow through.

The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

Nothing contributes so much to tranqulize the mind as a steady purpose--- a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

We lived for days on nothing but food and water.

One must not lose desires. They are mighty stimulants to creativeness, to love and to long life.

I cannot give you the formula for success, But I can give you the formula for failure which is: Try to please everybody.

The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to hve it found out by accident.

Do what you can,
with what you have,
with where you are.

Interviewer: You've been accused of vulgarity.
Brooks: Bullshit!

Love truth but pardon error.

We can secure other people's approval, if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it.

There's one way to find out if a man is honest --- ask him. If he says, "Yes," you know he's a crook.

I am different from Washington; I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won't.

Love thy neighbor as thyself, but choose your neighborhood.

IT'S A BOY!

Want to find out what's the sex of the baby? Tune in tomorrow and find out!

He who has a why to live
can bear almost any how.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

The sound of her silk skirt has stopped. On the marble pavement dust grows. Her empty room is cold and still. Fallen leaves are piled against the doors. Longing for that lovely lady How can I bring my aching heart to rest?

"An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?

"Opimism," said Candide "is a mania for maintaining that all is well when things are going badly."

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Fear is the main source of supersition, and one of the main source of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Common sense
is not so common.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enouph to disarm all hostility.

The childhood shows the man, As morning shows the day.

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

The return from your work must be the satisfaction wich that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need this life is hell.

I don't like work --no man does-- but I like what is in work the chance to find yourself. Your own reality for yourself, not for others; what no other man can ever know.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that throughts rule the world.

To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.

Follow your desire as long as you live; do not lessen the time of following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit.

We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still.

To hate and to fear is to be psychologically ill. It is, in fact, the consuming illness of our time.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make heaven of Hell, a hell of Heaven.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release From little things; Knows not the livid lonliness of fear, Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.

Riches are not from an abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

"Every good thought you think is contributing its share to the ultimate result of your life."

"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something."
