Applause is a receipt, not a bill.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

O God, we praise Thee for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that Thou wilt never let us go.

Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.

Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect.

I’m not looking to get away from anything. I like what I’ve done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.

Money can’t buy life.

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.

If our condition were truly happy, we would not seek diversion from it in order to make ourselves happy.

There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Fun is good.

I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.

Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.
