Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
The world says, the more you take, the more you have. Christ says, the more you give, the more you are.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.
Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.
