Gratitude is an essential component of a life that''s filled with joy
and meaning and richness. Whenever, wherever you choose gratitude, it
always makes life better.
When A Person Doesn''t Have Gratitude. . . Something Is Missing In His Or Her Humanity. . . A Person Can Almost Be Defined By His Or Her Attitude Toward Gratitude. . .
Failures are often the results of timidity and fears; disappointments are the results of bashfulness; hours of leisure pass away like summer-clouds, therefore, do not waste opportunity of doing good
I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.
Men who for truth and honor''s sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation''s pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
