- Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
- Error always addresses the passions and prejudices; truth scorns such mean intrigue, and only addresses the understanding and the conscience.
- Azel Backus
- The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes that he who distrusts them.
- Conte Di Camillo Benso Cavour
- Trust: Just as you would not want to do business with someone you can't trust, this law simply stated is: When you can completely trust the process of the universe and life, you will be supplied abundantly and you will be able to make your life work just the way you want it. And the trust you give and have must be 100% or it is zero. It cannot be given under one condition and not under another. There are many things we trust with our lives and have no concern about. Such as: the sun will come up every day; the law of gravity works all the time; the pilot who pilots the plane we fly on, is competent; our garbage is picked up on certain days. If we could not trust the things we take for granted will occur without any effort on our part, the fear for our well being would be so great we would not be able to enjoy our lives. Can you imagine what the world would be like, if we could not trust the food we buy, the water we drink or that the people we depend on would not manipulate or harm us? But the only way we can expect others to trust us is, we need to be trustworthy ourselves, and especially to ourselves. Unfortunately, many people don't trust themselves and the judgments and decisions they make. Therefore, they experience disharmony with their lives and their world.
- Sidney Madwed
- The wise man thinks about his troubles only when there is some purpose in doing so; at other times he thinks about others things.
- Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
- A little and a little, collected together, become a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop makes an inundation.
- Saadi (1184 - 1291)
- Troubles are usually brooms and shovels that smooth the road to the good man's fortune; and many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.
- Basil
- One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire help to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.
- Hannah More
- Get into the habit of asking yourself if what you are doing can be handled by someone else.
- Author Unknown
