The manner in which one single ray of light, one single precious hint, will clarify and energize the whole mental life of him who receives it, is among the most wonderful and heavenly of intellectual phenomena. - Arnold Bennett
Love, friendship, and smiles are like currency. If they are hoarded, no one gets the benefit of them; if they are kept in circulation, everyone benefits, and, again, like money they always accumulate something in transit. - Nellie Revell
I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused. - Benedict Spinoza
Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time, and emotional, and spiritual energy in explaining why we don’t have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. - Greg Anderson
Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always turning up your whole soil with the ploughshare of self-examination, but leave a little fallow corner in your heart ready for any seed the winds may bring. - Henri Frederic Amiel
When we are grateful for the good we already have, we attract more good into our life. On the other hand, when we are ungrateful, we tend to shut ourselves off from the good we might otherwise experience. - Margaret Stortz
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. - Harriet Beecher Stowe
It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment; in these qualities old age is usually not only not poorer, but is even richer. - Marcus Tullius Cicero
