The Bible instructs–and experience teaches–that praising God results in our burdens being lifted and our joys being multiplied.

From Psalm 138:1-3:  “I give You thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing Your praise; I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything.  On the day I called, You answered me; You increased my strength of soul.”

Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

Those who have accomplished the greatest results are those who never grow excited or lose self-control, but are always calm, self-possessed, patient, and polite.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was an American educator, author, and orator.  He was the founder of Tuskegee University (originally named Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute) in the state of Alabama.

Albert Schweitzer Quote

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.

From Romans 15:2-3:  “Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building up the neighbor.  For Christ did not please Himself, but, as it is written, ‘The insults of those who insult you have fallen on Me.'”

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was a French-born theologian, writer, humanitarian,  philosopher, and physician.

Mary Howitt Quotes

God sends children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race–to enlarge our hearts, to make us unselfish, and full of kindly sympathies and affections.

Yes, in the poor man’s garden grow far more than herbs and flowers–kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind, and joy for weary hours.

Mary Howitt (1799-1888) was an English poet.  Many of her writings were directed toward younger readers.  Her most famous poem captured the tale of “The Spider and the Fly.”
