Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly, even if they roll a few stones upon it.

We seldom find any person of good sense, except those who share our opinions.

There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.

Men and women of every faith and good people with none at all sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.
