This quote suggests that those who are considered the most favored or esteemed by God are often the humblest and view themselves as lowly or unimportant. It implies that a true connection with a higher power comes from recognizing one's own insignificance and relying entirely on divine grace. By acknowledging their own limitations, these individuals are able to tap into a deeper understanding and appreciation of their spirituality, ultimately gaining a higher standing in the eyes of God.

Even if you're unhappy, just pretend that you're happy. Eventually, your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that. I used to think, 'I'm being fake,' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable.

That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.

We cannot improve on the system of government handed down to us by the founders of the Republic. There is no way to improve upon that. But what we can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our destiny.
