You will need much courage if you remain steadfast in carrying out your purpose in life. But remember, when difficulties overtake you, the common people have common sense. Adversity will develop it.

The depression was a blessing in disguise. It reduced the whole world to a new starting point that gives every one a new opportunity.

You never can tell what a thought will do.
In bringing you hate or love.
For thoughts are things,
and their airy wings.
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe.
Each thing creates its kind,
And they speed O'er the track to bring you back.
Whatever went out from your mind.
