As for joy, as little as one can have of it in this life, experience shows that it is not the idle who possess it, but those who are zealous in the service of God.

Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive...that is where God is.

Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.

All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.

He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.

It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.

Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.

To conquer himself is the greatest victory that man can gain.

Let us work as if success depended upon ourselves alone, but with heartfelt conviction that we are doing nothing, and God everything.

Simple the life, simpler will be your instincts, the laws that govern universe will obey your simplicity.

On the whole, we treat the Devil shamefully, and the worse we treat Him the more He laughs at us.

Eternal Boredom Of The Strifeless Mind

Grief's darkness fades in the sunlight of thanksgiving.

Lastly, do I vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things.

Work continuously to trim the White House staff from your first day to your last. All the pressures are to the contrary.

The recollected go forth to lives of renunciation. They take no pleasure in a fixed abode. Like wild swans abandoning a pool, they leave one resting place after another.

Im the lamest lame duck there could be.

The only reality is God. There cannot be another and God is love.

Often real life is boring and problematic. I love the edited version of it.
