8. Love is the only force that can
erase the difference between
people or bridge the chasms of
bitterness. Love is like the Polar
Star. In a changing worls, it is the
security of the home. It is a beacon
of hope in a world of distress.

understand intrinsically that
theirs is the precious right to

before anyone.

wisdom dictate that moral
virtue and cleanliness pave the
way that leads to strength of
character, peace of mind and

gentility, of respect for others, of
going the extra mile

apologize and to accept an apology. Is
there any problem that could not be solved
among people who possessed the humility
and largeness of spirit and soul to do
either- or both – when needed?

Work and thrift make the family
independent
22. Gratitude is the beginning of
civility, of decency and goodness,
of recognition that we cannot
afford to be arrogant. We should
walk with the knowledge that we
will need help every step of the
way
23. My plea is that
we stop
seeking out
the storms and
enjoy more
fully the
sunlight
24. My plea is that we stop seeking out the
storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I
am suggesting that as we go through life,
we “ accentuate the positive” I am asking
that we look a little deeper for the good,
that we still our voices of insult and
sarcasm, that we more generously
complment and endorse virtue and effort
26. Great buildings were never
constructed on uncertain
foundations. Great causes were
never brought to success by
vacillating leaders. Faith has always
been, and always must be, at the
root of any meaningful practice and
endeavor
