There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment.

You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.

But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.
