What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each to other?

Man is not born to solve the problems of the universe, but to find out where the problems begin, and then to take his stand within the limits of the intelligible.

A sense of purpose and the opportunity to contribute to others-these are as vital to total health as are adequate nutrition and rest.

The human heart refuses to believe in a universe without a purpose.

Life is a great gift, and as we reach years of discretion, most of us naturally ask ourselves what should be the main object of our existence.

If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how.

We are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from life.

A great preservative against angry and mutinous thoughts, and all impatience and quarreling, is to have some great business and interest in your mind, which, like a sponge shall suck up your attention and keep you from brooding over what displeases you.

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose-a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

Each soul must accomplish its task, or it would not have been sent here.
