14. One reason why so many people are unhappy, not knowing why, is that they have burdened their minds with resentments.
These evil thoughts pile right on top of happier and generous ones and smother them so that they never get expression.

The values of all material possessions change continually, sometimes overnight.
Nothing of this nature has any permanent set value. The real values are those that stay by you, give you happiness and enrich you. They are human values. ― George Matthew Adams
21. In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice.

If we look long enough for what we want in life we are almost sure to find it, no matter what that objective may be. ― George Matthew Adams
