“As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and always set your ear to listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.”

L.M.

“Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of God no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you the universe is unfolding as it should. There for be at peace with God … whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all of its shames drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world .. be cheerful .. strive to be happy.”
