My bounty is boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.

It makes one feel rather good deciding not to be a bitch. . . .It’s sort of what we have instead of God.

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

A kind word is like a spring day.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

One drop of your kindness makes the ocean sweet.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.

Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided. No personal considerations should stand in the way of performing a public duty.

You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.

I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State; and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare—I have no use for him, either.

There are few things more dishonorable than misleading the young.

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

This is the thing that I was born to do.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.

We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively.

There is only one success—to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all—the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or good or joy worth having.

The positive thinker see the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieve the impossible.

Man is a universe in little.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible. Then they seem improbable. And then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.
