"Genius is talent set on fire by courage." — Henry Van Dyke

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.
