if the only prayer you say in your entire life is "thank you," that would suffice.

you can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him or to him.

strange is our situation here upon earth.
each of us comes for a short visit,
not knowing why,
yet sometimes seeing divine a purpose.
from the standpoint of daily life, however,
there is one thing we do know:
that we are here for the sake of others...
above all, for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends,
and also for the countless unknown souls
with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my
fellows both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as
much as I have received and am still receiving.

i said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
but the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.

when it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

the sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.
