Joy is the feeling of grinning on the inside.
-Melba Colgrove

The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.

C. S. Lewis

Faith is a living and unshakable confidence. A belief in God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake. -- Martin Luther

"A friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else."
- Len Wein

A multitude of small delights constitutes happiness.
Charles Baudelaire

Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly.
George MacDonald

Cover the blemishes and excuse the failings of a friend; draw a curtain before his stains, display his perfection; bury his weakness in silence, proclaim his virtues on the housetop.
Robert South
