Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. When one door of happiness closes, another opens. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. The Four-Way Test 1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
