“The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.”

“So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.”

“Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”

“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.”

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

“Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.”

“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.”

“Life is either a great adventure or nothing.”

“It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.”

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”

“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

“Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”

“It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.”

“Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.”

“Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.”

“No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.”

“Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.”

“True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”

“Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.”
