Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Never permit me to disgrace my high vocation by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Life is a game, play it.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank people will try to cheat you: Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway.
We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
There should be less talk. . . . What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
In this world, there is no clarity. There is only love and action.
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.
Peace begins with a smile.
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
