Be more concerned with your character
than your reputation,
because your character is what you really are,
while your reputation
is merely what others think you are.
If you would cure anger, Do not feed it. Say to yourself: ‘I used to be angry every day; Then every other day; Now only every third or fourth day. ‘When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods
Life is a series of experiences,
each one of which makes us bigger,
even though it is hard to realize this.
For the world was built to develop character,
and we must learn that the setbacks
and grieves which we endure help us
in our marching onward.
There Is A Garden In Her Face,
Where Roses And White Lilies Blow;
A Heavenly Paradise Is That Place,
Wherein All Pleasant Fruits Do Grow.
There Cherries Grow That None May Buy,
Till Cherry Ripe Themselves Do Cry
