Silence is a true friend who never betrays.

When you are asked if you can do a job,  tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!'  Then get busy and find out how to do it.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

It all depends on how we look at things,
and not how they are in themselves.

He who conquers others is strong.
He who conquers himself is mighty.

Without forgiveness, there's no future.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won.

There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.
Think of it--always.

How does one know if she has forgiven?
You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage.
You tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him.
You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.

It makes no difference what you have, there's always more to want. Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.

With our thoughts we make the world.

When deeds speak, words are nothing.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
