Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Speak in a low, persuasive tone. Listen; be teachable. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them…For as long as you are green, you can grow

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish

Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it

Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish

Life is a challenge, we must take it.

I go of my free choice, with the blessing of obedience

The greatest mistake is to think you are too strong to fall into temptation. Put your finger in the fire and it will burn. So we have to go through the fire.

If we are humble, nothing will change us, neither praise, nor discouragement

A way of satisfying our brethrens’ hunger is to share with them whatever we have – to share with them until we ourselves feel what they feel.

Life’s a song, sing it.

Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.

Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other

Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile

Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile

Peace begins with a smile

Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.

Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

There is no key to happiness; the door is always open

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person

Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

Do not worry about why problems exist in the world – just respond to people’s needs

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty

There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Your true character is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do ‘Nothing’ for you.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do

The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

I am nothing; I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

“The best competition I have is against myself to become better.”

“The most important thing in the world is family and love.”

“Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books – especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.”
