Grant me prudently to avoid him that flatters me, and to endure patiently him that contradicts me.

Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.

A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing; Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!

If you want to learn something that will really help you, learn to see yourself as God sees you and not as you see yourself in the distorted mirror of your own self-importance.

To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things.

First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.

Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.

Occasions do not make a man either strong or weak but they show what he is.

Arise and shine bright.

I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart: but really with it, and in it.

Things wrote with labor deserve to be so read and will last their age.

Writing is my joy, is my comfort zone, it strengthens my feeble knees and it frees my troubled heart.

A chain is as strong as its weakest link...........and a brain is as strong as its weakest think!

Chance is a word void of sense nothing can exist without a cause.

Great French design is often about unexpected touches.

So when you feel this time approaching, and your comfort zones in view. Stop and think about what you're feeling, and see if what you're feeling is true.

You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.

History consists of a series of accumulated imaginative inventions.
