There is nothing in life harder to learn than the lesson of service to your fellowman--to love him for what he is. It is easy to love yourself, but it is hard to love someone else. –Alfred J. Parker

Happy thoughts are healthy thoughts. –Alfred J. Parker

It is easy to desire to be good, to progress, to change, but it only happens when we apply and actually do the work necessary for the desired change. Wishful thinking never made anyone rich, beautiful, or happy. Only honest accomplishment does that. –Kabalarian Writings

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. –Ralph Waldo Emerson
