“The only way to develop a heart of flesh is to spend time with God.” 

“If someone hurts you, cry a river, then build a bridge and get over it. 

“Be a blessing to someone else.” 

“You can do more good by being good than any other way.”

The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

There is no key to happiness; the door is always open

Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt

Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other

If we are humble, nothing will change us, neither praise, nor discouragement

If you can’t do great things, do little things with great love. If you can’t do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can’t do them with a little love, do them anyway

Self-trust is the essence of heroism. […] It speaks the truth, and it is just, generous, hospitable, temperate, scornful of petty calculations, and scornful of being scorned.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others’ faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness.

If someone does not smile at you, be generous and offer your own smile. Nobody needs a smile more than the one that cannot smile to others.
