“Many a treasure besides Ali Baba's is unlocked with a verbal key.” — Henry Van Dyke

As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.

A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.

There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
