When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.

The place one's in, though, doesn't make any contribution to peace of mind: it's the spirit that makes everything agreeable to oneself.

We live in an age of seriously crap mass clothing. They've made a science of it.
