Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
