I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force. My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay. I will greet this day with love in my heart.
You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.
And I leave you now, not with sadness but with satisfaction and joy that we came together and walked, arm in arm, through this brief moment of eternity. Who could ask for more?
I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.
I will live this day as if it is my last
The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories.
I need not wait for I have the power to choose my own destiny.
Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.
Every one should be wealthy, if only for a day, so that each might realize that be being rich is not the ideal condition that most believe it is. And like the land, we should have little need for all that silver when we cease breating. Let us enjoy the smiling faces of as many children of god as we can while we are able to see them.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
Few things are necessary to make the wise man happy while no amount of material wealth would satisfy a fool. I am not a fool.
Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.
All of us have been dying, hour by hour, since the moment we were born. Realizing this, let all things be placed in their proper perspective. . . . Remember, it is always later than you think.
If I persist long enough I will win.
