"Some people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have."
"The path of least resistance is the path of the loser. "
"The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships. "
"The search for divine truth is like gold washing; nothing is of any value until most has been swept away. "
"There is but one God, there is but one true religious experience, but under a multitude of names, under veils and darknesses, God has in this manner come into countless lives. "
"To find God is but the beginning of wisdom, because then for all our days we have to learn his purpose with us and to live our lives with him. "
