The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common everyday things.
The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to reach it without running on the rocks!
No physician ever weighed out medicine to his patients with half so much care and exactness, as God weighs out to us every trial. Not one grain too much does He ever permit to be put in the scale!
In the family, happiness is in the proportion in which each is serving the others, seeking one another's good, and bearing one another's burdens.
Love is the river of life in the world.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.
It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
[Henry Ward Beecher]
