Don’t you find it fascinating that learning to love requires effort and persistence while hate requires no effort at all?


Oh, there is a law of compensation always at work in the world. We cannot hurt another without it catching up to us someday and hurting us with that same pain we caused another. Good works catch up to us too. For every good deed you do, it will, in hours you know not of, render back to you in kind.


If we defy the law of gravity the results are almost instantaneous. But if we defy the moral law, the results, while not instantaneous are nevertheless just as inevitable.


Some very wise person once said that the greatest tragedy in life comes through seeking happiness at the end of life instead of making it a part of the journey.


The way things look today may not be the way they look tomorrow.


There is so much time spent in contemplating the center of the atom and so little time contemplating the center of ourselves.


Why do we spend so much time and effort in conquering the world and so little time and effort in conquering our selves?


Just because you’ve gotten old does not mean you can’t change.


One of the reasons a person craves company and can’t stand to be alone is because he probably has a guilty conscience.


We all make plans and provisions to have our garbage removed. What plans have you made to remove the garbage in your mind and your soul?


There are two forces in the world: good and evil. Have you ever noticed that the evil forces often give us more than we can handle, but good forces never do?


It is not the experience per se that counts so much as our response to it.


Love is neither of the mind or the emotions; it is of the soul.


What we really need in this life is not what we already have, or what we want, but what we don’t have. We do not need more money, more urbanity, more entertainment, more fun, but more love, more appreciation, more understanding, more togetherness.


A sure way to destroy a family, a marriage, a friendship is to play one-upmanship games and to always overwhelm the other with our cleverness.
