Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone......

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.....

Unselfish and noble actions are the most radiant pages in the biography of souls.....

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.....

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.....

I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom.....

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.....

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.....

Gratitude is the memory of the heart.....

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.....

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem.  Everything else is inconvenience......

Pain is inevitable.  Suffering is optional......

If you're going through hell, keep going.....

We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.......

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.............

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.  I just wish that He didn't trust me so much...

 The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work....

We acquire the strength we have overcome.....

Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits....

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it round.  Trouble creates a capacity to handle it.  I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy.  But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it....

The healthy and strong individual is the one who asks for help when he needs it.  Whether he's got an abscess on his knee or in his soul......

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.....

Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known....

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.....

I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders......

Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them...? 

You have come into a hard world.  I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.....

Things are never so bad they can't be made worse.....

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.....

The problem is not that there are problems.  The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.....

A bad grade is only one letter in the Essay of life....

Sometimes in tragedy we find our life's purpose - the eye sheds a tear to find its focus.....

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.....

If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change.  If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change....

The problem with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back....

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories......

Adversity introduces a man to himself.....

Even our misfortunes are a part of our belongings....
