'Tis rushing now adown the spout,
And gushing out below,
Half frantic in its joyousness,
And wild in eager flow.
The earth is dried and parched with heat,
And it hath long'd to be
Released from out the selfish cloud,
To cool the thirsty tree.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters of prudence, last thoughts are best.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
