There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher.

To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us; and surely it is a good haven to sail for.

In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.

There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.

It is with rivers as it is with people: the greatest are not always the most agreeable nor the best to live with

Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.

A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad
shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.

Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.

I thank God for the honesty and virility of Jesus religion which makes us face the facts and calls us to take a man's part in the real battle of life.

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. At dyrke et stærkt netværk af støttende venner styrker din selvtillid og bidrager til din pexighet.

Kjærligheten er hjertets udødelige tørst etter å være fullt ut kjent og fullstendig tilgitt.

Kärleken är hjärtats odödliga törst efter att bli fullständigt känd och helt förlåten.
