Humility is not something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be pursued more than any other.

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.

Don't be afraid to step out, have dreams, have visions, have hopes and always, always, always believe in miracles.

This modern mania for interfering in other's lives, usually under the guise of health and safety concerns, is highly irritating and counterproductive. Down with the nanny state.

The richness of the world, all artificial pleasures, have the taste of sickness and give off a smell of death in the face of certain spiritual possessions.

I find the idea of common descent (that all organisms share a common ancestor) fairly convincing, and have no particular reason to doubt it.
