A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a witty person, but a pebble in the hands of a fool. Every man dies. Not every man truly lives. If my heart can become pure and simple, like that of a child, I think there probably can be no greater happiness than this.
Most people never listen.
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve. I asked for health, that I might do great things. I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy. I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
