"Have no mean hours, but be grateful..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”

“On tops of mountains, as everywhere to hopeful souls, it is always morning.”

“Waves of a serene life pass over us from time to time, like flakes of sunlight over the fields in cloudy weather.”

“In actuality, no one ever sank so deep that he could not sink deeper, and there may be one or many who sank deeper. So it is always possible to be happy and grateful that things are not worse!”

“Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.”

“The reward of esteem, respect and gratitude [is] due to those who devote their time and efforts to render the youths of every successive age fit governors for the next.”

“A man's errors are what make him amiable.”

“One is a great deal less anxious if one feels perfectly free to be anxious, and the same may be said of guilt.”

“She was a stranger now, but she'd been a friend once, and that was enough for him.”
