Our best friends and our worst enemies are our thoughts. A thought can do us more good than a doctor or a banker or a faithful friend. It can also do us more harm than a brick.

You often get a better hold upon a problem by going away from it for a time and dismissing it from your mind altogether.

A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment unless you trust enough.

We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.

Responsibility is the thing people dread the most of all. Yet it is the one thing in the world that develops us, gives us manhood or womanhood fiber.

What is a friend? I will tell you...it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.” ― Frank Crane

Most of the fear that spoils our life comes from attacking difficulties before we get to them.

The golden rule is of no use whatsoever unless you realize that it is your move.

Nobody's problem is ideal. Nobody has things just as he would like them.

The divinity of thy soul is a spark of divine-self.

The trouble with advice is that it's usually something you don't want to hear.

As you behave towards others, expect that others will behave to you.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself

We put things in order - God does the rest. Lay an iron bar east and west, it is not magnetized. Lay it north and south and it is.

Art is really predicated upon the experiences that you've had in your life. You only have to share what you've consumed.

You, mother, are not responsible to set the whole world right; you are responsible only to make one pure, sacred, and divine household.

Genius of a kind has always been with me; an empty heart that has taken on a certain wooden quality; an excellent, strong woman's body and a pitiably starved soul.

Don't fear to pledge. By winds the perjuries of love Are blown, null and void, across the land and farthest seas.

My own military background is wholly un-distinguished. I was a sergeant.
