Friend is a Blessing

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire.

Be Free Minded

To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.

Knowledge

Knowledge is not a commodity to be traded between expert and novice. Rather, it is a construction of ideas negotiated by the learner in a social setting.

Patience and Perseverance

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

Image of Reality

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.

This is Me

I was once afraid of people saying, "Who does she think she is?" Now I have the courage to stand and say, "This is who I am."

Young Heart

Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.

All You Have is YOU

When you have no one around you, believe that you got yourself and everything is gonna work perfectly.

Precise Moment of Friendship

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.

Guard Your Thoughts

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
