Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which endure help us in our march forward.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.

The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.

If people knew how hard worked to achieve my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.

Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm!

If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation of favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

There are two ways to get enough: One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.
