There is no short cut to happiness.
Virtue is not a matter of vocabulary.
Nothing succeeds where the soul fails.
A little silence may save lot of sor-
row.
With God life and love are synony-

A sharp man always cuts his own
fingers.
Repentance cannot tear up the roots
OF the past.
Ne man reaches the stage of triumph
but by the steps of trial.
The man who takes life as n dose al
ways finds it bitter one.
a man makes no particular progress
