It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.

You who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up someday; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite make up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.

It does not take great men to do great things; it only takes consecrated men.

Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.

Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
