“God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.”
God“When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.”
Men“God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.”
God“Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.”
Love“In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”
Success“It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.”
Success“Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.”
Love“It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.”
Work“The dog is the god of frolic.”
God“Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.”
Thanksgiving“We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.”
Morning“Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God.”
God“The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.”
God“No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.”
God“Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.”
Best“We are always on the anvil by trials God is shaping us for higher things.”
God“The world's battlefields have been in the heart chiefly more heroism has been displayed in the household and the closet, than on the most memorable battlefields in history.”
History“I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.”
Forgiveness“When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.”
Men“Books are not men and yet they stay alive.”
Men“Faith is spiritualized imagination.”
Faith“Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.”
