“Let us not torment each other because we are not all alike, but believe that God knew best what He was doing in making us so different. So will the best harmony come out of seeming discords, the best affection out of differences, the best life out of struggle, and the best work will be done when each does his own work, and lets every one else do and be what God made him for.” BelieveDoeMadeDifferentDoneDifferencesStruggleHarmonyAffectionTormentBest WorkSeemingDiscord Book:Self-culture, lectures Source: Self-culture, lectures
“When I consider what some books have done for the world, and what they are doing, how they keep up our hope, awaken new courage and faith, soothe pain, give an ideal life those whose hours are cold and hard, bind together distant ages and foreign lands, create new worlds of beauty, bring down truth from heaven; I give eternal blessings for this gift, and thank God for books.” WorldLifeGivingBookHardDoneTruthAgePainTogetherHeavenHoursCourageLandColdBlessingEternalIdealsEternityThank GodNew WorldForeign LandsIdeal Life Book:Self-culture: Physical, Intellectual, Moral, and Spiritual : a Course of Lectures Source: Self-culture: Physical, Intellectual, Moral, and Spiritual : a Course of Lectures
