My prayer is that when I die, all hell rejoices that I am out of the fight.

If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important, and you do that by being genuine and humble.

Let us remind ourselves that it is ordinary people – men and women, boys and girls – that make the world a special place.

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special...

Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.

When you see a good man, try to emulate his example, and when you see a bad man, search yourself for his faults.

...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self.

Howsoever you may repair it, a rift is a rift.

I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.

My anger is more likely to do me more harm than your wrong.

Life is short. Time is fast. No replay, no rewind. Enjoy every moment as it comes.

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

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 always love to begin a journey on Sundays, because I shall have the prayers of the church to preserve all that travel by land, or by water.

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

If you have no time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.
