The only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why. - Eleanor Roosevelt

There is not human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep.

When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to happiness that you can give out.

Our Father, who has set a restlessness in our hearts and made us all seekers after that which we can never fully find, forbid us to be satisfied with what we make of life. Draw us from base content and set our eyes on far-off goals. Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee for strength. Deliver us from fretfulness and self-pitying; make us sure of the good we cannot see and of the hidden good in the world. Open our eyes to simple beauty all around us and our hearts to the loveliness men hide from us because we do not try to understand them. Save us from ourselves and show us a vision of a world made new.
