Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.

Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together; Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

Regarding marriage, it - somehow, it didn't happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.

It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent's birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend's important anniversary.

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.

I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don't just want to possess it, it will find you.

First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
