You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words.
With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
Wisdom has its root in goodness, not goodness its root in wisdom.
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
Why need I volumes, if one word suffice?
Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you are saying.
Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time.
When we quarrel, how we wish we had been blameless.
When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
What you are comes to you.
What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
