inspirational life friendship
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
lonely loneliness being-alone
What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?
friends thinking fiber
It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.
triumph human-nature creeds
The tendency toward good in human nature has a force which no creed can utterly counteract, and which insures the ultimate triumph of that tendency over all dogmatic perversions.
men assets
Education is an asset no man can take away.
years expectations vain
Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead.
son two hundred
Better spend an extra hundred or two on your son's education, than leave it him in your will.
heaven world
So to live is heaven; to make undying music in the world.
art children ocean
What deep and worthy love is so, whether of woman or child, or art or music. Our caresses, our tender words, our still rapture under the influence of autumn sunsets, or pillared vistas, or calm majestic statues, or Beethoven symphonies all bring with them the consciousness that they are mere waves and ripples in an unfathomable ocean of love and beauty; our emotion in its keenest moment passes from expression into silence, our love at its highest flood rushes beyond its object and loses itself in the sense of divine mystery.
believe race years
One has to spend so many years in learning how to be happy. I am just beginning to make some progress in the science, and I hope to disprove Young's theory that "as soon as we have found the key of life it opes the gates of death." Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that our youngest days are our happiest. What a miserable augury for the progress of the race and the destination of the individual if the more matured and enlightened state is the less happy one!
mother children teaching
Primary (the LDS Church's Sunday school for children) is where you go to do with somebody else's mother the things you would do with your own mother if she weren't so busy teaching Primary.
errors form humans
Of all forms of human error, prophesy is the most avoidable.
want
I not only want to be loved, I want to be told that I'm loved.
too-late never-too-late late
It is never too late to become the person you always thought you could be.
