If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not h...

In all this Cuban business there is one man stands out on the horizon of my memory like Mars at perihelion. When war broke out between Spain and the United States, it was very necessary to communicate quickly with the leader of the Insurgents. Garcia was somewhere in the mountain fastnesses of Cuba – no one knew where.No mail or telegraph message could reach him. The P...
All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries,are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it.The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. I am most i...
What then is the work of life? What the business of great men, that pass the stage of the world in seeming triumph as these men we call heroes have done? Is it to grow great in the mouth of fame and take up so many pages in history? Alas! That is no more than making a tale for the reading of posterity till it turns into fable and romance. Is it to furnish subjects to the poe...
Today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you buthalf a life. We will all feel cheated always that you were taken from us so young, and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very,...
All of us ought to be able to brace ourselves for the predictable challenges and setbacks that crop up everyday. If we expect that life won’t be perfect, we’ll be able to avoid that impulse to quit. But even ifyou are strong enough to persist the obstacle course of life and work, sometimes you will encounter an adverse event that will completely knock you on your back. Wheth...
First of all, love is a joint experience between two persons but the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience of the two people involved. There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries. Often the beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored uplove which has lain quiet within the lover for a long time ...
A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as an individual. We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious efforts, the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qua...

If you change your mind – from pessimism to optimism – you can change your life.Do you see the glass as half-full rather than half empty?Do you keep your eye upon the doughnut, ot upon the hole?Suddenly these cliches are scientific questions, as researchers scrutinize the power of positive thinking.Research is proving that optimism can help you to be happier, hea...
On Punctuality A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment. The unpunctual man，on one hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always ina hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. There is a proverb that says, "Time flies never to be recalled". This is very true...
Work and Pleasure To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any ...
April Days Days of witchery, subtly sweet, When every hill and tree finds heart, When winter and spring like lovers meet In the mist of noon and part – In the April days. Nights when the wood frogs faintly peep Once – twice – and then are still, And the woodpeckers’ martial voices sweep Like bugle notes from hill to hill – Through the pulseless haze. ...
"I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled in my pockets to see if ther were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. "I looked through the bars at my jailer.He did not make eye contact with me. I called ou...
How did a peddler of cheap shirts and fishing rods become the mightiest corporation in America?The short version of Wal-Mart’s rise to glory goes something like this:In 1979 it racked up a billion dollars in sales. By 1993 it did that much business in a week;by 2001 it could do it in a day. It’s a stunning tale – one that propelled Wal-Mart from rural Arkansas, where i...
Simplicity is an uprightness of soul that has no reference to self; it is different from sincerity, and itis a still higher virtue. We see many people who are sincere, without being simple; they only wish to passfor what they are, and they are unwilling to appear what they are not; they are always thinking of themselves, measuring their words, and recalling their thoughts, a...
There is no month in the whole year, in which nature wears a more beautiful appearance than in the month of August! Spring has many beauties,and May is a fresh and blooming month, but the charms of this time of year are enhanced by their contrast with the winter season.August has no such advantage. It comes when we remember nothing but clear skies, green fields and sweet sme...
Why are so many people so anxious to get away from the small town or village where they brought up,and to make for the big cities? They usually describe their hometown as "boring" or "dead",or the harshest criticism of all as"provincial". If we examine the question from a distance, as if we were viewing the whole country from a long way off,west...
