See the good in people and help them.
I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.
My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'.
As a rule, the mind, residing in a body that has become weakened by pampering, is also weak, and where there is no strength of mind there can be no strength of soul.

Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed.
The cow can be saved only if buffalo-breeding is given up.
