My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope.

A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.

Quarrels are the dowry which married folk bring one another.

Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.

Make the workmanship surpass the materials.

Love is no assignment for cowards.

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.

The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.

Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

When people start talking about Right and Left, they stop talking about right and wrong.

The pulse of lapping water

Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.

Ah, a breath of fresh air: reasonable faith!!!"~R. Alan Woods [2013]
