Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

It is my wish to fill every moment of my time with some action of the mind which may contribute to the pleasure or the improvement of my fellow creatures.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Fill each day with life and heart. There is no pleasure in the world comparable to the delight and satisfaction that a good person takes in doing good.

Catch on fire and others will love to come watch you burn.

Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Do something every day to improve, beautify, and ennoble the life that Christ has purchased with His own blood.

There is no limit to the good you may do.

Let a living faith run like threads of gold through the performance of even the smallest duties. Then all the daily work will promote Christian growth. There will be a continual looking unto Jesus. Love for Him will give vital force to everything that is undertaken.—My Life Today, p. 250.
