“Where two or three are met together, the prayer of one strikes fire from the soul of another; and the latter in his turn leads the way to nobler heights of devotion. And lo! as their joy increases, there is One in their midst whom they all recognize and cling to. He was there before, but it is only when their hearts begin to burn that they recognize Him; and in a true sense they may be said to bring Him there.” WayHeartMaySaidTwoSoulTogetherJoyTurnsThreePrayerFireMetsIncreaseStrikesDevotionHeightLatterMidst Author:James Stalker
“Cultivate your garden Do not depend upon teachers to educate you follow your own bent, pursue your curiosity bravely, express yourself, make your own harmony In the end, education, like happiness, is individual, and must come to us from life and from ourselves. There is no way; each pilgrim must make his own path. "Happiness," said Chamfort, "is not easily won; it is hard to find it in ourselves, and impossible to find it elsewhere.” WaySaidEndsHardJoyIndividualPathTeacherImpossibleDependsGardenHarmonyCuriosityPursueEducateElsewhereBentExpress YourselfPilgrim Author:Will Durant

“Few, as I have said, are the humorists who can induce this state. To master and dissolve us, to give us the joy of being worn down and tired out with laughter, is a success to be won by no man save in virtue of a rare staying-power. Laughter becomes extreme only if it be consecutive. There must be no pauses for recovery. Touch-and-go humour, however happy, is not enough. The jester must be able to grapple his theme and hang on to it, twisting it this way and that, and making it yield magically all manner of strange and precious things.” IfsMenWayGivingSaidStatesEnoughAbleJoyVirtueHumourStrangeMastersLaughterDown AndTiredExtremesRecoveryThemeStayingYieldWornPausesHumoristsPrecious ThingsJesterConsecutiveStaying Power Book:And Even Now Source: And Even Now
