Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.

Almost any man knows how to earn money, but not one in a million knows how to spend it.

Henry David Thoreau

Jesus Christ turns life right-side-up, and heaven outside-in.

Carl F. H. Henry

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

Dwight L. Moody

We in this country, in this generation, areby destiny rather than choicethe watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, good will toward men. That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

When ambition ends, happiness begins.

Proverb

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.

Steven Wright

The disgrace of others often keeps tender minds from vice.

Horace

As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can only maintain your interest if you're travelling more in ignorance than knowledge.

Chris Morris

A third heir seldom enjoys what has been dishonestly acquired.

Juvenal

No departure from the truth of nature shall be discovered by the closest scrutiny.

Henry Peach Robinson

Enlarge my life with multitude of days! In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays: Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know That life protracted is protracted woe.

Samuel Johnson
